ROAD TRIP

The road trip begins at 10am from Powerscourt Hotel in Wicklow on November 19 and takes in the last of Wicklow’s magnificent autumn majesty in Enniskerry, Sally Gap, Glendalough and Hollywood.

The newly restored Castle Durrow Country House Hotel in Laois is the first stop for lunch – a jewel of the midlands.

After lunch, the convoy will drive southbound to the luxurious Great Southern Killarney for two nights from where they will explore the Ring of Kerry, Dromquinna Manor, The Black Valley, Gap of Dunloe and finally Killarney National Park.

In true Cannonball style, this road-trip goes the extra mile with wonders at every turn including a bagpiper on a bridge, a falconer at breakfast and that rare ‘camaraderie’ that makes all Cannonball road-trips truly unforgettable experiences.
