Hi Just spending two weeks in Ireland having a great time; started out in Dublin and went to the North-West to Sligo. Staying in a lovely seaside village called Strandhill – stayed three nights in the Strandhill Lodge and Suites; the best hotel ive stayed in.... fabulous place great rooms... went surfing a few times the last couple of days and also tried the Seaweed baths – really relaxing break a couple of great restaurants in the village especially if you are a foodie! Heading to Galway next and wondering if anyone had any tips for heading south?

You (or at least I)could take a week to get from Sligo to Galway or just rush down the N17 with perhaps a slight detour to Knock shrine.
Taking the Scenic route along the coast you have the Ciede Fields, Achill island down to Westport and along Clew Bay under Croagh Patrick and to Louisburgh before heading down through the Doonlough valley and Killary Fjord to Leenane, From here you can head via Cong or take the better N59 route to Kylemore and onwards.
