Day trip

bleach94

Hoping to go for a drive somewhere away from the city this weekend with my girlfriend. Can anyone recommend somewhere fun to drive to that isn't too far? I'm not really that specific I know.. I was thinking a nice beach trip or go to Clonakilty or somewhere but I'm looking for some more suggestions if anyone has them

Old Head of Kinsale Cliffs:



and then down to Garretstown/Garrylucas beach picnic benches,



and have a picnic (flask of tea, a few sammiches and a bag of crisps). If the Weather's bad skip the picnic and head up to Hurleys in Ballinspittle for a bowl of soup.

Nice..

Allihies, beautiful as it is, probably deserves more than just a day-trip in fairness. Also, it's the guts of a 200 mile round trip with about 4/5 hours driving.

Balmed Out

Clonakilty for lunch on to red strand, walk by lighthouse and cliffs of galley head, on past long strand and red strand past rosscarberry and swing left to Glandore. En route to Glandore stop by the dunbeg stone circle.

Kinsale. walk to Bridge turn right to dock pub, go through beach up hill to James fort. Check out the renovated equivalent across the way at charlesfort too.

Go to Cobh and fota / Barryscourt castle / middleton - Jameson brewery

OP, your first idea was fine. Head out to Clonakilty for a wander & lunch and then go to Inchadoney for the beach. Or just drive along the coast a bit. There's plenty of amazing views and places to pull in.

Doneraile Park is nice

Doneraile is really nice I must say..Ye could bring a picnic there too and pick some wild garlic just bring a bag to put it in, don't think you are suppose to pick it..

There is a loverly drive around Garryvoe beach, could try there down the back of it... Or head down to Sandy Gove is it the place across from Inchdoney beach much nicer that inch.. And you can pass the whale remains Killbritain..

Courtmacsherry woods, Cliff walk in Ballycotton, Blarney castle grounds are extensive and outstanding.
