When going north from Galway, go through Carrick on Shannon and head for Ballinamore, the road between those two is the best driving road I have driven on in ireland! (its worth the detour if you get a sunny day! and you enjoy driving enthusiasticlly!)

On the coast road in the north east, make sure you do the Torr Head detour along the coast. It's pretty well signposted off the A2
