Doolin Cliff Walk

Doolin Cliff Walk

Start your 3-hour walking route in the village of Doolin and stroll along the sea cliffs to the Cliffs of Moher. Following the trail along the coast, you will see green fields dotted with cows and sheep on one side and the powerful waves of the Atlantic Ocean on the other.

Galway City

Galway City

Galway is one of Ireland’s most charming cities. Brimming with rich Celtic and Spanish heritage, a vibrant art scene and a long list of festivals, this city is small enough to visit on foot, but eventful enough to inspire a return visit. Explore its picturesque medieval streets, limestone buildings, colourful docks and impressive landmarks such as The Cathedral, the Spanish Arch and St. Nicholas Collegiate Church. Wind down in a cosy pub and revel in some lively traditional music. See ArrivalGuides' guide to Galway for more insider tips.

Islands of Finish and Mweenish

Islands of Finish and Mweenish

Take the road to the coast about half way between the villages of Kilkieran and Carna, and walk to the tidal island of Finish. Just be careful not to get trapped by the incoming tide! You can also walk or cycle Mweenish Island, just outside Carna and accessible by road. This is actually a series of islands joined by causeways. Check out the lovely beaches, ideal for strolling and swimming.

Salthill Promenade

Salthill Promenade

Situated in Salthill, on the outskirts of Galway city, the ‘Prom’ is Ireland’s longest seaside promenade. Local legend says those who walk along the Prom and "kick the wall" across from the Blackrock diving boards will have good luck and fortune for the year to come.

Hire a bike in Clifden and explore this otherworldly landscape of blanket bog.
