Detailed itinerary

1

A stunning 16th-century tower house built by the Ó hEidhin clan.

2

Kinvara is a picturesque seaside village located in south County Galway, on the edge of Galway Bay and at the gateway to The Burren, one of Ireland’s most unique and dramatic landscapes. The name Kinvara comes from the Irish Cinn Mhara, meaning “head of the sea,” reflecting its historic maritime connections.

3

Newtown Castle is a beautifully restored 16th-century tower house located about 2.5 km southwest of Ballyvaughan in County Clare, nestled within the Burren landscape.

4

Corkscrew Hill (Co. Clare) — not in Cork city — is a stunning scenic route on the road between Ballyvaughan and Lisdoonvarna, right through the wild Burren landscape.

5

The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland’s most iconic natural landmarks and a must-visit destination on the Wild Atlantic Way. Located in County Clare, these dramatic sea cliffs stretch for about 14 kilometres (9 miles) along the Atlantic coast and reach heights of up to 214 meters (702 feet) at their tallest point near O'Brien’s Tower.

6

Doonagore Castle is a beautifully positioned 16th-century round tower house perched on a hill about 1 km from Doolin, overlooking Doolin Point and the Atlantic coast.

Built of sandstone from nearby Flaggy Beach, unlike most local castles made of limestone, it stands out with its distinctive cylindrical form and fortified bawn wall

Doolin Pier Cliffs View – A Unique Perspective of the Cliffs of MoherDoolin Pier is a perfect spot if you're looking to experience the Cliffs of Moher from a different, less crowded, and more intimate perspective.

The ocean breeze, crashing waves, and panoramic coastal scenery create an unforgettable atmosphere

8
Stop 8

The limestone pavement in The Burren, County Clare, is one of the most distinctive and otherworldly landscapes in Ireland - and in Europe. Limestone pavement is a flat or gently sloping expanse of exposed limestone rock, naturally sculpted over thousands of years. The Burren's pavement is a classic example formed during the last Ice Age and shaped further by erosion.

9

Nestled in a quiet valley of the Burren in County Clare, Corcomroe Abbey is a hauntingly beautiful 13th-century Cistercian monastery, often referred to as the "Abbey of the Fertile Rock." It’s one of Ireland’s finest examples of early Gothic architecture and offers visitors a peaceful, atmospheric stop off the typical tourist path.

10

Hazel Mountain Chocolate is a charming bean-to-bar chocolate factory, café, and shop tucked into the Burren hills of County Clare, just off the Wild Atlantic Way. Since opening in 2014, this family-run artisan producer has quickly risen to national prominence, earning awards from the Academy of Chocolate and recognition by the Irish Times as a top‑10 cafe.
