    Hell o *.*,

    I'm looking for the best drives in Ireland. This is what I have so far:

    Louisbourgh to Leenane
    Laragh to Avoca
    Donegal town to Killybegs to Glencolumbkille
    Laragh to Glenmalure to Aghavannagh to Aughrim
    Lahinch to Ballyvaughan (coast road)
    Spiddal to Maam Cross
    Mulranny to Achill on the edge of Clew Bay (not the main road) and then a loop of Achill
    Portrush to Larne
    Wicklow Way

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks

    This year's Historic Endurance race route looks to have been pretty good.

    Done that route many times though sometimes I wished I was driving a 4x4 as the roads were abyssmal. Thankfully, a lot of the route has been resurfaced and not as severe on suspension! :)

    Next time you're that direction, you should take a trip to Malinbeg/Malinmore. And climb down the many, many steps to the beach! :o

    You're better doing the Atlantic Drive (I think that's what it's called). Down by Portsalon etc.

    Thanks for all the suggestions, I hope the "Celtic Tiger" will be resurrected so I can spend some more time on this nice island and test all these drives.
