This tour does entail quite a bit of driving but it will leave the traveller with a wonderful array of memories of the diverse scenery and cultural differences that they will encounter from one end of the country to the other. While the accents and dialects of the spoken word will vary greatly while journeying from County Cork on the southern tip of Ireland to the northern counties of Donegal and Antrim, the one unchanging constant will be the level of friendliness, humour & welcome that you receive throughout your travels.
While the suggested tour itinerary clearly outlines how you will be able to visit many of Ireland’s most historical locations and attractions, make sure to take timeout to get to know the local people and their culture.
Some of the major attractions include Guinness Storehouse and Trinity Collegein Dublin, Powerscourt Gardens in Wicklow, Waterford Crystal Factory in the South East as well as the Rock of Cashel and Cahir Castle.
In the Cork/Kerry region, as well as visits to Blarney Castle and the Cobh Heritage Centre (The Titanic Trail) you can tour the Ring of Kerry & Dingle Peninsula. In the west there is the spectacular Cliffs of Moher, Galway City and the Aran Islands.
From there travel north to the remote counties of Donegal & Sligo (Yeats county) before travelling into Northern Ireland to walk the walls of Derry and the Giant's Causeway in Antrim, not forgetting some time in Belfast to learn more about its turbulent history in the words of one of the local impartial qualified guides. Finally, after Belfast it is time to travel south to the Capital with a stop on route at the Ancient Megalithic Tombs of Newgrange, Ireland’s most visited attraction.
Meet in the centre of Belfast, after an introductory meeting we have dinner together.
Setting out on a Sustrans Cycle path we head out of Belfast up onto the the beginning of the Northern Coastline to the seaside village of Carnlough for the night
The days cycle takes in the beauty of Antrim not only in its coastline but also in its famous and stunning Glens. Slowly but surely we make our way along the coast to the village of Cushendall where we base ourselves for two nights.
Heading inland again, we cycle through two of the most spectacular Glens of Antrim before returning back to Cushendall for another night in this lovely village.
One option for the day is to hug the coastline to take in a stunning cycle along by Torr Head to the village of Ballycastle where we stay for two days.
One attractive option on the rest day is to take the ferry to explore Rathlin Island, which is some five miles out in the Atlantic.
We cycle along the coast where we can visit the famous Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and then along to view the hexagonal rock formations at the Giant's Causeway. From there we head to the village of Bushmills where we can visit the famous whiskey distillery. The tour finishes off with a transfer back from Coleraine to Belfast city for a final night together.
The tour has finished and you are free to make your way home.
