An island just over 300 miles long and 170 miles wide, Ireland is made-to-measure for daytrips. No part of the country is more than 70 miles from the sea, and no city is more than 50 to 100 miles from a neighboring city. This book describes 50 of the most historic and enjoyable destinations, giving a step-by-step itinerary, whether it be a driving or walking route. It focuses on eight broad areas of maximum tourist interest - each of which has one major city or town. Includes 60 new maps, restaurant and pub suggestions, full travel directions, a driver's glossary and five new shopping daytrips.

Discover 50 great areas on your own, including ten daytrips in and around Dublin, Waterford, Wexford and Kilkenny in the Southeast, ten daytrips in and around Cork and Kerry, Limerick City and Castle Corridor in the Shannon region, Galway City and the Aran Islands to the West, and over 10 daytrips in and around Sligo, Donegal and Northern Ireland.
