Burren and Connemara

CLARE – probably best known for the BURREN – one small region in this beautiful county. The Burren offers a wealth in  flora, archaeology and history – all visible, all alive and all easy to see when you know where to go. It is one of the most
fascinating landscapes in Ireland and has been compared to a “moonscape” by many. We offer The Burren and Aran Islands combined or the Burren and Connemara combined.

GALWAY – also home to CONNEMARA and the ARAN ISLANDS. This part of Ireland is one of those amazing places where you can be walking in the back of beyonds one moment and the next find yourself in a busy colourful village alive with fun and laughter. Connemara is famous for its bogs, lakes, fishing and of course – mountains. It is a world apart and offers walking like you will never find anywhere else. The ARAN ISLANDS are very similar in landscape to the Burren and offer much more solid ground for walking with an amazing variety of historical sights that bring old and new together as never before. 

Our Guided walks are very much for those that want a comfortable holiday but at the same time being out in the open, walking, seeing and getting the feel for the Irish countryside. Our guides are selected because of their knowledge of the area which you will be walking. They will explain the ecology of the area, its history, art, architecture, customs, folklore and its natural history. Good accommodation, (private bathroom each location) and quality meals make for a holiday to be remembered.
