Connemara, Aran Islands & the Burren
The essence and variety of the West of Ireland is captured on this two-centre walking trip starting in County Galway in the heart of the Connemara Mountains and ending in The Burren in County Clare.
The name Connemara is Irish for "Inlets of the Sea" and is part of the world-famous Wild Atlantic Way. The local scenery includes not only a stunning coastline but also lakes, mountains, white cottages, woolly Highland sheep, fast-flowing streams and many, many stone walls!
The second part of our tour takes us to The Burren in County Clare. The Burren boasts a unique and magical landscape of exposed and cracked limestone crust. The rock formation is exceptional and allows for a unique internal climate resulting in a micro-ecosystem of rare plants, some of which can only be found in Alpine or Mediterranean regions.
We also visit Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands, which lies right on the edge of Europe and holds the highest density of archaeological and cultural artifacts in Ireland. You will certainly sense the spirits of Celts and early Christian settlers while enjoying life at a slower pace; ideal for a walking vacation in Ireland.
