See some of West Ireland’s most renowned sites whilst cycling through striking landscapes of The Burren and its national park. As you cycle, you’ll witness diverse scenery and geological marvels that have barely changed in thousands of years, with karst limestone peeking out from grasslands and stretching into the wild Atlantic. You’ll stay in traditional villages with warm Irish hospitality and pubs to relax in at the end of a day’s cycling.
You’ll ride on a network of ancient roads and small laneways, which take you to historic sites which span the ages, including Poulnabrone Dlomen, a megalithic tomb made of balanced stones which dates back nearly six thousand years. You’ll also visit the staggering Cliffs of Moher, a UNESCO Global Geopark where the cliffs soar up to over 200 metres above the sea. You can also catch a ferry for a trip to the famous Aran Islands where the quiet roads criss-cross between stone walls and you’ll visit the impressive 3,000 year old fort Dun Aonghasa.
You will cycle on small country lanes and quiet roads with accommodation in charming, family-run bed & breakfasts or small guesthouses.
