The Enigma of South-Central Ireland
South-central Ireland is indeed a region of natural beauty and historical sites; located on the eastern shores of the River Shsannon. It boasts some of the most iconic tourist attractions in Ireland like the Cliffs of Moher, Ring of Kerry or Kilkenny city (among others), all within easy reach from each other making it perfect for motorcycle tours around here.
Key Highlights
Cliffs Of Moher: These cliffs run along the length of the Atlantic coast are beyond beautiful. There’s nowhere, even in Ireland, with much better views, and on the way there are a few towns which you ride through with some breath taking views of the lush Southern Irish countryside.
Ring Of Kerry: This circular tourist route around Iveragh Peninsula might be considered obligatory by any motorcyclist visiting these parts – if only because it offers such variety! Not only does it take riders past craggy hilltops overlooking fishing villages but also through sections where visibility may well prove excellent due largely thanks to good signposting indicating most services available en-route.
Kilkenny: The medieval city of Kilkenny straddles both banks of the River Nore and features numerous quaint alleys just crying out to be explored by foot. Here you’ll find Kilkenny Castle (a medieval fortification) alongside 13th-century St Canice’s Cathedral among other highlights not forgetting its famous old round tower which offers great views over the city itself.
Rock Of Cashel: This ancient name literally translates as ‘castle’ or ‘rock’ depending upon one’s perspective; incidentally however whether rock or castle (and indeed both Irish & English agree on this point) it still remains Cashel. Today though it represents a collection of stunning medieval buildings set amidst rolling green countryside – don’t miss out!
