If you're driving from Dingle to Galway, I'd recommend the following day plan.
Rather than the main road via Limerick, drive north from Tralee via Listowel to catch
the Tarbert-Killimer car ferry (avoiding Limerick traffic and the 80-mile/1.5-hour end-run
drive around the Shannon estuary; see “Route Tips for Drivers” at the end of the previous
chapter). From Killimer, drive north on N-67 via Kilkee and Milltown Malbay. The little
surferand-golfer village of Lahinch makes a good lunch stop. Then drive the coastal route
to the Cliffs of Moher for an hour break. The scenic drive from the cliffs through the Bur-
ren, with a couple of stops and a tour of the caves, takes about two hours. Consider par-
taking in the 17:30 medieval banquet at Dunguaire Castle, near Kinvarra (just 30 minutes
south of Galway).
