4-Day / 3-Night Moderate

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

It is hard not to get excited about this first day of walking the Burren Way.  Following the coastal tracks overlooking Liscannor Bay, the trail leads up to the southern end of the world famous Cliffs of Moher. From here, you have breath-taking views as the cliffs rise vertically more than 200m from the sea. The walk then continues for 10km along the cliffs on one of the most spectacular coastal paths in Europe until you come to the small village of Doolin, renowned for live Irish music.

Transfer to Fanore in the morning where, from the hills above Fanore, you can enjoy some last views across the Atlantic before crossing the shoulder of Slieve Elva towards the Caher Valley. Another ridge brings you into the fertile Rathborney River Valley. After passing the 16th century Newtown Castle, you will have an option to shorten your hike with a woodland walk, or continue through fields and woodlands to the famous Aillwee Cave before arriving in Ballyvaughan, your stop for the night.

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