Kilkea Castle Hotel & Golf Resort

Try your luck and drive on the left! If you intend on renting a car, book sooner rather than later, it can get expensive when availability is tight.&nbsp;Be mindful that the cars are generally smaller with less trunk space.&nbsp;The trip from Dublin to Kilkea Castle is about 1 hour without traffic.

Driving?

If you are not renting a car, there are plenty of affordable alternatives.&nbsp;Trains are the quickest to get to most major towns, but there are also plenty of bus routes.&nbsp;Uber is available in the cities (Dublin and Galway) and local taxi companies elsewhere.&nbsp;

Dont plan to drive?

If you plan on heading to Dublin before the wedding, taking a bus will be the easiest option.The website below contains info on different bus companies.Recommended Bus, Dublin Express : &nbsp;(<a href="https://www.dublinexpress.ie/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">link</a>)

There are two options for getting to the Castle straight from the airport and the cost is about the same.&nbsp; 1) JJ Kavanagh bus to Carlow (<a href="https://jjkavanagh.ie/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">link</a>) then taxi to Kilkea Castle. Total time is about 2.5 hours. Book a JJ Kavanagh ticket ahead of time.&nbsp; The bus picks you up right at the airport.&nbsp; After getting your bags, head towards the bus area and follow the signs for JJ Kavanagh.&nbsp; Get off at Carlow (Coach Park) and there may be taxis waiting there.&nbsp; If not, either call an Uber, local cab company, or walk 4 minutes up Kennedy Ave and there will be taxis waiting in the center of the town. Taxi is then 20 more minutes to Kilkea Castle.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2) Dublin Express (<a href="https://www.dublinexpress.ie/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">link</a>) or another bus to Dublin Heuston Train Station, from there take the Irish Rail Train to Athy (<a href="https://www.irishrail.ie/en-ie/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">link</a>).
