If you want to go on a day trip by car you could see the beach and the mountains in one day. Start off at the cottage, go to down to the famous surfing beach Tramore. Enjoy the nice cafés along the promenade and the view to the Celtic Sea. From Tramore you can take the R675 towards Dungarvan along the Copper Coast to see all the beautiful hidden beaches along the coast. Dungarvan is the perfect place to stop for some sandwiches and tea or coffee. From Dungarvan you can go up to the Comeragh Mountains and the famous Magic Road. After you managed to roll uphill and saw the Mahon Falls you can go up to Carrick-on-Suir. While you are there you can visit the 'Ormond Castle'.
