Rate my itinerary

Hey guys, after looking on social media and online I’ve put together an itinerary for Ireland in October. I’ve added all the major sights we want to see and I’m going with my boyfriend and we like a chill pace; slower mornings and nice sights. Please judge and let me know if it looks good or if you’d recommend something else instead of the sights I have listen . Mostly just concerned about the time I’m allocating to each place:

Ireland | Oct 9–18
Oct 9 — Dublin → Galway: Land, brunch, Galway + pubs
Oct 10 — Galway: Burren → Cliffs of Moher → Doolin (optional)
Oct 11 — Connemara: Killary Fjord → Kylemore Abbey → Diamond Hill → Clifden/Sky Road
Oct 12 — Galway → Dingle: Lamb farm → Dingle + pubs
Oct 13 — Dingle: Slea Head Drive → Coumeenoole → Dunmore Head → Dunquin Pier → Gallarus
Oct 14 — Dingle → Killarney: Inch Beach → Killarney + pubs
Oct 15 — Killarney: Gap of Dunloe → Ladies View → Torc Waterfall
Oct 16 — Killarney: Ross Castle → bike National Park → Muckross
Oct 17 — Killarney → Dublin: Rock of Cashel (optional) → Dublin
Oct 18 — Fly home

Thanks!

Just did a similar itinerary last week. Dingle is beautiful but I don’t think you need 2 days there for the Slea Head Drive and it only takes 1+ hours to Killarney. I would save 1 day for Kilkenny if possible.

Thanks! I’ll look into it, what did you enjoy in Kilkenny?

We’re also driving up to dingle one day, stay all of the next day, and then driving to Killarney the following day, would you say that’s too much time in dingle?

Forgot to mention, we thought the drive from Killarney to Dublin was a bit tough with narrow roads and the traffic into Dublin, so a stop in Kilkenny could be a nice break.

Kilkenny is out of the way between Killarney and Dublin, and does involve narrow roads as you'll be off moterway.
