As you will see from these posts my dream trip will require quite a lot of time although I would be tickled to be able to go to any one or two of these locations. Unlikely to happen unless things change dramatically but I will continue to dream on. Never, ever give up on your dreams!
While driving from Shannon to Dublin there are a few things that should be seen. According to comments on Fodor’s good places to see are Cahir Castle, Swiss Cottage and Rock of Cashel. Obviously a good map and GPS will be needed for the entirety this trip so make sure you come prepared.
From Dublin we would take the Ferry to Holyhead in wales and continue on from there. The price as of the date of this writing is 190 Euros and the trip is approximately 3 1/2 hours hours. That price is based on 2 passengers and a Hyundai Santa-Fe.
Driving from Holyhead to London is 289 miles and since we are still in the UK and will be driving on the opposite side of the road I would personally plan to take 2 days to get there rather than the 5 hours that some sites claim it takes. Two days gives time to be comfortable on the road and also allows time to see whatever local sites you come across as well as having time to get a great feel for truly local food.
Once in London a I plan to take 3-4 days to see the sites and experience what I can. Real Fish & Chips, the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, The British Museum and whatever else you can think of that might strike your fancy.
When done in London the next thing would be to return the rental car and take the Eurostar train from London to Paris via the tunnel and get another car in Paris.
We will pick up in Paris with my next posting.
