RouteXpert Review A ride on beautiful roads where we stop regularly on the way to visit places of interest.
Via the R703 and R705 we drive to Leighlinbridge, at RP6 you can stop to photograph the ruin of the Black Castle.
We continue the trip to Altamont, where you can visit The Altamont Gardens (RP10) http://www.heritageireland.ie/en/south-east/altamontgardens/
On the route is also a Falconry (RP12), certainly worth it if you like birds of prey. http://falconryofireland.ie/
The next stop is Wicklow a small town on the coast where you can have lunch at the Bridge Tavern https://www.bridgetavern.ie/
From Wicklow we drive via the Vartry Water Reservoir to the beginning of the Old Military Road (RP20). This road takes us through the beautiful Wickley Mountains to our next stop in Enniskerry. Along the way there are many beautiful views, so stop regularly (RP21, 22 and 23) and enjoy.
In Enniskerry we visit the Powerscourt Gardens and Waterfall (RP26). https://powerscourt.com/. Very nice castle gardens and a good restaurant to eat a trifle.
From Enniskerry we drive to Dublin the end of this day our 10 day trip through Ireland.
In Dublin you can stop at St Patricks Cathedral (RP30) to take pictures.
You should also stop at The Brazen Head (RP32), the oldest Pub in Dublin to drink a Guinness. http://www.brazenhead.com/
The end of this ride is at the Guinness Storehouse (RP35), https://www.guinness-storehouse.com/en here you get a guided tour and you can also buy nice souvenirs. Definitely worth a visit. In the bar above you have a nice view over the city.
The last part of the ride in the center of Dublin TomTom and Here do not always agree (RP34).
Dublin is a beautiful city so take a few extra days to enjoy this city.
This route is 4 stars.
