6-Day / 5-Night Challenging

From your point of arrival, use the public transport information we provide to make the journey to Lahinch.

Your walking tour starts with a relaxing stroll down the beautiful beach at Lahinch. The trail then leads around Liscannor Bay and up to the southern end of the world famous Cliffs of Moher. From here, you have breath-taking views of the cliffs rising vertically more than 200m from the sea. For the next 10km you will follow one of the most spectacular cliff paths in Europe until you come to the small village of Doolin, renowned for live Irish music.

Transfer to Fanore in the morning where an ancient ‘Green Road’ brings you to lonely Black Head with splendid views over Galway Bay. The route continues on a narrow trail along cliffs before it joins an old Mass Path, leading into the fertile Gleninagh Valley. After passing the 16th century Newtown Castle you cross through fields and woodland before arriving in Ballyvaughan, your stop for the night.

After retracing your steps to the Gleninagh Valley, there is a lot to see today! After crossing through a mystical limestone landscape, you’ll suddenly find yourself in an Irish bog! But don’t fear, you will soon be walking between stone walled fields and passing ancient celtic monuments. You’ll also have the chance to visit sheep dog demonstrations and a 6,000 year old dolmen before returning to Ballyvaughan by taxi.

There is a regular bus service from Ballyvaughan to Galway and from there to Dublin, Limerick and Shannon. Full details provided upon booking.
