Southern Islands Mini-Break Guided Walking Holiday

The "magic" of Island life comes alive in this hiking trip, covering the Southern Islands of West Cork and Roaring Water Bay. Island people have  uniqueness and character which has to be experienced to be appreciated, but it’s the wealth of history, culture, wildlife, flora and fauna that makes this trip special…not to mention the stunning, wild and rugged scenery.

Burren and Connemara Guided Holiday

 

The Burren and Connemara face each other across Galway Bay, and yet it is hard to imagine two more contrasting landscapes.  ‘Burren’ is derived from the Irish word boireann meaning ‘place of stone’, and the name could not be more apt.  There is no part of Ireland where rock so obviously dominates the landscape as it does in the north-west corner of County Clare.  The Burren covers an area of some 260 square kilometres and is famous for its bare limestone pavements dissected by deep crevices and traversed by countless stone walls. This is a hiking trip not to be forgotten 

 Burren Aran Mini-break Guided Holiday

 

As above, this is an unforgettable hiking trip. The Burren and Connemara face each other across Galway Bay, and yet it is hard to imagine two more contrasting landscapes.  ‘Burren’ is derived from the Irish word boireann meaning ‘place of stone’, and the name could not be more apt.  There is no part of Ireland where rock so obviously dominates the landscape as it does in the north-west corner of County Clare.

Traditional Ireland - Guided Holiday

This hiking trip focuses on two key areas rich in tradition: North Kerry and the Burren.  It also gives you the opportunity to visit one of the Aran Islands on a day excursion.  The influence of music, song, dance and the customs that have lived on in these two very different regions combine to make this a wonderful and very different holiday.

Achill Island & the Mayo Coast

This Guided hiking trip offers a region of Ireland that seems to have been missed by others, thankfully. The North-Western Coast of Mayo, rich in archaeological landscape, with its flourishing flora and fauna, majestic cliffs and rocky coves, is just waiting to be discovered by the walker.

Discover Donegal Guided Holiday

Geographically speaking, Donegal is a county of contradictions: it contains the northernmost point in the whole of Ireland - Malin Head on the remote Inishowen Peninsula and yet it is in ‘the South’ (Republic of Ireland).  It is in Ulster (i.e. the nine-county province), but not in Northern Ireland.  The county is very sparsely populated, with large tracts of land being uninhabited and a good deal of the open land and grazing country covered by blanket bogs.This is a hiking trip to remember

Achill Island - Mini Break Guided Holiday

 

This hiking trip takes in Achill Island, the largest island in the Country and is accessible from the mainland by bridge. Its magnificent sandy beaches, sea cliffs and warm hospitality bring visitors back again and again for holidays.

Visit the beautiful villages of Dooagh and Keel, the high cliffs at the Achill Head, the magnificent beaches at Keel and Keem, and Slievemore and Minaun, the highest mountains on the island.

 Antrim Glens and Causeway Guided Holiday

 

With the ‘outbreak of peace’, walkers are now able to discover the reality for themselves.  In fact, this north-eastern corner of Ireland is a magical place of scenic beauty and varied landscapes which are best discovered on foot, and a warm welcome awaits those taking our hiking trip.  The nine Glens of Antrim are amongst Ulster’s finest features and are rich in history and tradition. 

Wicklow Self-Guiding Holiday 8-Day Programme

This hiking trip takes in the county of Wicklow, often called ‘the Garden of Ireland’, alluding to the fine agricultural land and magnificent scenery in the hinterland of Dublin, Ireland’s capital city.  There are several fine country houses with estates: Powerscourt, Avondale, Russborough, Kilmacurragh, Kilruddery and Mount Usher.  However, Wicklow is not all country estates and green, rolling hills.
