Any suggestions for good bike trails for kids? Mine are 8 and 11, solid bikers. We love riding the Rio Grande and every year they bike to Woody Creek Tavern (I drive them back to town). Since my youngest is getting older we’re looking to find some new places to ride. I’m also happy to drop them or pick them up somewhere for a one way ride. (My husband rides with them, he’s a better biker than me.)
We’re (last minute!) planning our family’s first trip to Ireland in late September of this year. Two adults, two boys ages 8/11. Note, my kids are good travelers and have traveled abroad but realistically also have a lot of energy and not much patience for museums/slow paced tours. We’re flying round trip to/from Dublin. I have read the wiki and appreciate the info. Tentative itinerary below, all suggestions welcome! Especially if you think something is a must-do or not-do with kids.
A couple general questions…
I’d like to do a falconry experience, any suggestions that would fit well into our itinerary?
Are airbnbs popular in Ireland? We find having two rooms and a kitchen is helpful with the kids and saving money. It seems b&bs are popular - I’m open to suggestions of where to look for those also! We’re booking this all late so a lot of places are full. Thanks in advance!
Day 1 (Saturday) - Arrive AM in Dublin, take it easy, explore city, early dinner and bed
Day 2- get rental car, drive to Dingle, stop at Rock of Cashel along the way for exploring/energy spending, spend evening in Dingle
Day 3- Dingle peninsula, drive the Slea head loop
Day 4- another day in Dingle, maybe a wildlife boat ride? (Should we use this day differently? I want some down time for us and kids.)
Day 5- head to Killarney, Killarney National Park, Ross Castle?
Day 6- Ring of Kerry drive, evening in Killarney
Day 7- drive to Cliffs of Moher, then back to Dublin (is this too much driving for one day?)
Day 8- fly out of Dublin (11am flight)
