3 hours!!!???? Not on those roads. Irish roads are very narrow and as such speed is generaly restricted. I would say nearer to 4 esp if your behind a coach load of tourist going to BallyK

I’d give it longer — not because of the road, but because of the stops you might want to make. – Dungarvan, just because it’s nice – Waterford, for "the glass", for Reginald’s Tower, for its nice little civic museum – New Ross to see the Dunbrodie (replica "famine ship") – Enniscorthy to enjoy views of the Slaney River – Ferns for its miscellaneous ecclesiastical ruins and tiny cathedral – Woodenbridge, just because it is lovely. Plan for a leisurely day trip. PB

Bloody tourists slowing down while they wonder if they should stop for lunch here. PB

I blame religion I’ve been held up a couple of times by funerals with substantial processions at a slow walking pace. On Sundays, everyone drives to church and parks on the road. You can just get one car past but if there’s someone coming the other way as well… — UK Aromatherapy Information and Products: http://www.celtic-flame.co.uk

14 Jul 02 Are the roads between Ardmore, County Waterford and Avoca, County Wicklow decent enough for one to drive comfortably in one day between the two? Have made B&B reservations at both places (first night in Ardmore, next in Avoca) and now wonder if I should stop over between the two? Time is rather tight here so if I can do it in one day, I would rather. Nan

Response:

No problem. And plenty of time to smell the flowers. Don’t miss Avoca Handweavers. PB

It’s 175 km, just under three hours of driving according to Autoroute. — UK Aromatherapy Information and Products: http://www.celtic-flame.co.uk
