Experience the spectacular landscapes and history of Ireland’s dramatic west coast on this eight-day tour with easy to moderate cycling. Starting and ending in the city of Galway, you’ll be greeted with a warm welcome as you stay in small towns and pedal to notable abbeys and castles. Cycle with miles of unspoilt natural beauty as far as the eye can see, with lakes, mountains, fjords and coastline all providing a memorable backdrop. Relaxing with a pint of famous Irish stout or a whiskey as you listen to traditional music in a friendly pub is a great way to end a day in the saddle.

Ride on a mix of small country lanes, quiet roads and a small section of forest trails. There is the chance to extend your rides with optional extensions on most days. Your accommodation will be in charming, family-run bed & breakfasts or small guesthouses.
