    Hi folks.

    I'm planning a solo tour of Ireland early July and would like a little help as where to go..

    I'm getting the ferry into Belfast then getting the train or bus to somewhere in the South, possibly Cork.

    I then plan to cycle for 7 days before getting public transport back to Belfast for the ferry.

    I will have my tent with me but will probably stay in a BB at some point. I can cover 50- 80 miles a day no problem.

    Is wild Camping allowed in Ireland and will I have to pre book BB?

    I would be very grateful if someone could help me start my planning and give me advice on what places and roads I should use /avoid..

    I much prefer cycling on quiet roads but good trails I can manage. I will be on a touring bike with 28 tyres.

    And of course good pubs and cafes are essential ;-)

    Many thanks for any advice

    cork and kerry are beautiful and have hills. wild camping is not legal but can often be negotiated or done discretely. there are many back roads . some peole follow the coast - wild atlantic way . pretty . the burren in clare is great cycling country. tip at the B& B eat the huge breakfast- cereal , bacon eggs toast etc. it should have enough calories to take you til night
    njoy and good luck .
