Tour Overview

‘Excellent’

The counties along the South West Coast of Ireland, Cork, Kerry & Clare lay claim to some of the most treasured and impressive scenery in the country as well as a varied culture and plenty of leisure activities to enjoy. This rugged and mountainous landscape is steeped in ancient history and folklore, making it the perfect destination for a truly unforgettable driving tour of Ireland. With its lunar like rocky terrain the Burren region and the spectacular Cliffs of Moher present a fascinating contrast from your travels in the Cork/Kerry region. It has to be said however that there is more to the South West region than its stunning scenery, the friendly, warm and welcoming people who are always willing to help with directions and a smile, really make you feel at home. In the evenings you can have as the Irish say ‘The Craic’ in any local town or village! Ireland’s South West - once visited, never forgotten!
