This three centre, guided walk covers three very different areas of the west coast of Ireland - The Burren, The Aran Islands and Connemara. You will be based in hotels and guesthouses in locations that provide the richest variety of geology, scenery and walking conditions that could be desired.
The Burren is a remarkable area of more than 100 square miles of limestone landscape, where a rich variety of plants thrive in the cracks and crevices. Enjoy the birds eye view of the dramatic west coast of Ireland on the short flight to the Aran Islands, where Gaelic is still spoken. Explore the many archeological sites of the island, including the pre-historic fort, Dun Aonghasa. Old pilgrimage sites and boglands rich in flowers are the treats of Connemara.
