Walking, Hiking and Cycling in the West of Ireland

Walking & Hiking

The most enjoyable and scenic walks lead along the beaches and the cliffs of our coastline. Recommended Walks include 2 National loop walks (8 and 20kms) and the Tullaher Bog Trail starting in Doonbeg village, and the Slí na Sláinte Walks (signposted, in several Clare villages). If you like it less spectacular enjoy walking along quietback country roads or on forest walks on the hills between Cree and Kilmaley (scenic route); in Kilrush's Vandeleur Garden and in the Dromore woods close to Ennis. For the hiking enthusiast well organised scenic country routes are established throughout Clare:
