I’m planning a 4-day photography trip to Ireland in March and will have a rental car. I’d like recommendations for scenic places that are especially worthwhile for photography, and any guidance on the best time of day to shoot there.

Go to the south west of the country and head for Kerry, specifically Dingle and continue west and drive around the peninsula. There's some amazing views there. It won't be great if it's a bad day though!

For a short driving trip, the strongest recommendation from the community is southwest Ireland, especially County Kerry. The Dingle area and a drive around the Dingle Peninsula are noted for excellent scenic views and are a good fit for a road-based photo trip.

Because landscape photography depends heavily on conditions, be flexible: coastal and mountain views can be spectacular, but poor weather may limit visibility. In general, the best light is usually early morning and late afternoon through sunset, when the light is softer and more directional.

A practical way to refine your route is to use a location-scouting app such as Stuck on Earth, which lets you browse popular photo spots and see example images from specific locations. That can help you decide which stops in southwest Ireland best match the kind of photos you want to make.

So, if you only have 4 days, focusing on Kerry/Dingle rather than trying to cover all of Ireland is likely the most efficient plan.
