Leave Galway on the N6 in direction Dublin. When you are at the 'Oranmore Roundabout', the N6 to Dublin turns left. YOU DON'T.

You are in Ballyvaughan and you are facing a T-junction. Turn right onto the R477. Just follow the Coast Road. You pass through Fanore and drive on for a few more miles until you come to your first right-turn (any other right-turn you might take before that would end up in the Sea). Turn right onto the R479. After 1.9miles (3km) Doolin Church is on your left.

When you are in Lisdoonvarna, the Square is on your left. Turn right for Doolin.
