Beyond Wicklow — one or two days from Dublin
Many of Ireland’s historic towns, great houses and landscapes can be reached comfortably on a private chauffeur day tour from Dublin, or combined into a more leisurely two-day journey.
Possibilities include:
- Kilkenny — medieval streets, Kilkenny Castle, historic churches and excellent restaurants.
- The Rock of Cashel — one of Ireland’s most striking historic sites, easily combined with Kilkenny or the surrounding countryside.
- Waterford — Ireland’s oldest city, with Viking heritage, Georgian architecture and the Waterford Crystal tradition.
- Newgrange & the Boyne Valley — prehistoric monuments, ancient landscapes and some of Ireland’s most important archaeological sites.
- Kildare & the Irish National Stud — particularly appealing for guests interested in horses, gardens and Ireland’s racing heritage.
- The Midlands & historic estates — country houses, gardens and lesser-visited heritage sites can be incorporated according to your interests.
- South-east Ireland — Kilkenny, Waterford and surrounding countryside can be combined into a relaxed two-day itinerary rather than rushed into a single day.
These journeys work particularly well for guests who want to return to Dublin each evening, while a two-day tour can also include an overnight stay and a more scenic route.
