The Isles of the West of Ireland have long been a draw for those travellers who appreciate the road less travelled and who seek a more real experience, rooted in the deep culture and exquisite beauty of Ireland’s Western Seaboard.
The Western Isles tour dates for 2020:
Mon May 18 – Sun May 24 2020
The deeply indented coastline, ringed with white strands, rugged mountains sweeping down to the sea, stone walls, small, colourful villages, the people, welcoming, as rugged as their landscape, the strong, ancient traditions still alive and thriving attract the more discerning visitor and walker.
Discover a hidden Ireland on our easy to moderate walks where we will journey through unspoilt, beautiful, unpopulated landscape, revisit Ireland’s rich and varied past, from Stone Age burial sites, Iron Age cooking places, Early Christian monasteries, medieval castles and relax in Georgian lodges; from Clare Island, stronghold of Grace O’Malley, the “Pirate Queen”, to the stunning Aran Islands, repository of the rich Gaelic culture and famous for the hundreds of miles of stone walls, Bronze Age forts and unique geology; to the bustling town of Westport, with its street-café culture, restaurants, pubs with traditional Irish music and friendly locals ready to share their wit or a story…just a fraction of the magic of the West of Ireland for you to experience.
