From the Tralee bus station, we took R874 around its loop of downtown until the right on Strand St (1.5 km).
In 0.5 km turn right again onto Spa Rd, which after 4 km spits you out onto R558. Go left on R558 for 6.6 km, then right onto Talaught Ln for 3 km. Turn left when the road T's in Glebe. In 1.5 km that road ends; go right for 0.5 km to the next T and then right again. After 2 km that road ends as well, take the left for 0.6 km, left again when that road ends in 0.8 km, and left after 3.5 km at the next T. In 1.9 km the road bends 90 degrees to the right, then in ¾ km it ends back at R551. Go left. After 6 km, in Dirtane, R551 takes a right turn, but you can go straight instead, then after 1 km right onto North Rd, which becomes Coast Rd, and 14.5 km later take a left back onto R551. And 9 km later you're in Ballybunion!
