4 Day East Coast Driving
Day 1
Enjoy the sights and sounds of Dublin, a cosmopolitan city with a wonderful sense of tradition. Stroll around leafy squares of perfect Georgian houses and the cobble-stone courtyards of Trinity College, or take a trip to the Guinness Storehouse to see how Ireland’s famous drink is produced. Hang out in snugs of atmospheric old pubs, or trendy bars and clubs with world class DJs. Shop in designer boutiques or grand old department stores..
Day 2
It’s south and out into the countryside on the R115, and very soon you’re in the Wicklow Mountains, surrounded by hills and valleys, forest and woodland, where you can stop off to cycle, walk or ride a horse. Cross over the Sally Gap Mountain and pay attention to the spectacular views that envelop you – then take the R756 to Glendalough. This is a serene spot, with misty valleys and still, glassy lakes. It’s also the site of an ancient monastery.
Day 3
From Kildare it’s a quick trip on the M7 to Portlaoise and the grand Emo Court House, County Laois – a neoclassical country villa with landscaped gardens and great vistas. Get back on to the N80, N52 and R394 north to visit yet another majestic pile – Tullynally Castle, just outside Castlepollard in County Westmeath. This is a real fairy-tale castle, with towers, turrets and enchanting gardens. Stop overnight in the Mullingar.
Day 4
From Cavan town take the N3 towards the fascinating megalithic site of Newgrange, which has a roof that has stayed miraculously waterproof for over 5000 years. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ancient burial mound covers an area of over one acre and is surrounded by 97 kerbstones, which are elaborately decorated with megalithic artworks. From here its an easy trip down the M1 to Dublin.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
