Travel

A wet and wonderfully wild RIB trip from Dingle takes us through sea caves and out to the Blasket Islands, where grey seals, minke whales and common dolphins make the difficult camera conditions entirely worthwhile.

A final drive over Moll’s Gap takes us from Kenmare to Dingle, with a windswept stop on Inch Beach before meeting two memorable campsite hosts and accidentally finding one of the busiest restaurants in town.

A cancelled Skelligs boat trip sends us around the Skellig Ring instead, taking in the Kerry Cliffs, Ballinskelligs, Waterville, Derrynane, Sneem and Kenmare.

A ferry ride to Valentia Island leads to the Skellig Experience, Portmagee, misty views from Bray Head and a very hilly search for 385-million-year-old tetrapod footprints.

A third trip over Moll’s Gap leads to an LPG refill in Killarney, Ross Castle, Killorglin and beaches along the Ring of Kerry before a damp night at Mannix Point.

A misty drive over Moll’s Gap leads to Muckross House, Torc Waterfall and Muckross Abbey, before an evening in Kenmare.

A memorable cable-car trip to Dursey Island, a winding drive through Allihies and Eyeries, and a spectacularly situated—but decidedly quirky—night at Creveen Lodge.

A lively morning at Bantry Market and the All-Ireland Coastal Rowing Championships, followed by a drive onto the Beara Peninsula and an evening with Roy, his flat battery and an unexpected sea bass.

A clearer second look at Mizen Head and Barleycove, a wander around Crookhaven and an unexpectedly busy arrival in Bantry for the coastal rowing championships.

A misty tour of Barleycove Beach and Mizen Head, followed by an almost-total solar eclipse that the clouds turned into a rather spooky non-event.

A ferry trip to Sherkin Island, a detour to Lough Hyne and an overnight stop in Ballydehob.

A rest day, wash day and stroll along the Drimoleague Heritage Walk.

A travel day from our campervan stop in Cobh to Top of the Rock Pod Páirc and Walking Centre.

Our 2026 campervan trip to Ireland: a self-guided walking tour of Cork.
