Description

Added by Bertrand Lanneau

This is an amazing and really easy hike to enjoy the highest cliffs of Ireland.

If you really want to enjoy the Cliffs of Moher, do not stay at the first platform. Just follow the tracks that are going down south (on the left when you face the ocean). Be careful it could be sleppery at some points.

Our best view was just after a small natural pool 30min walking from the start.

About the place, you will have to pay €6.00 for parking and access. In summer it could be really crowded, that's why a small hike gives you a better and calmer view of thoose amazing cliffs.

Walk Along the Cliffs of Moher

The best way to do this, or the easiest, would be by booking a tour. There is no bus that goes out to here, so you would have to rent a car otherwise. If you are staying in Dublin, you can book a tour at the Paddy Wagon Travel Agency for about 35 Euros. It's just on the main road by the giant metal pole.The bus ride is about 3 hours and they take you to a small fishing town, some smaller cliffs...

Bike around Inis Mór

To book a ticket to Inis Mór, I suggest going online to http://www.aranislandferries.c... This way you will know for sure that you have a spot, and won't have to wait in line. You will need to pick up your ticket from Kinlay Hostel in Galway City, next to the main square. I would recommend arriving to get your ticket an hour and a half ahead of time, just to be safe. The website will give you d...

Hike Diamond Hill, Connemara NP

An easy yet beautiful hike to the top of Connemara valley. It will take you about 3h to do the loop. Be careful of the wind because it can be really strong! The path is really easy to follow, you will have a lot of signs everywhere.In the summer the place is crowded but there is not so much people who are reaching the top. At the start you can find an information center, a bar/restaurant, some ...

Explore Connemara National Park

Scott and I took a road trip around Ireland and found Connemara National Park when we left Galway in the western part of the country. From Galway, if you take N59 from Clifden to Letterfrack the park is about 93 kms away and worth the drive! Entry into the park and the visitor center exhibits are free of charge and we spent an entire day there taking advantage of all the loop trails (all starti...
