Dude I am not kidding this is almost the exact route my wife and I took, just swung wide and went to Kilkenny. Didn’t have anything planned, just B&B’d it all the way. Trip of a lifetime if you can relax and just enjoy the journey.
It’s probably good that they have those up, honestly. I thought my new wife was going to fall off at one point. That was before 2013 even, they were doing a good amount of work in the area.
Cannot recommend the Cliffs of Moher enough. The greatest display of the majesty and terror in Creation I’ve ever experienced in my life. Unless they’ve barricaded it off you could walk right off the cliffs if you wanted.
