Walking, Hiking and Cycling
The most enjoyable and scenic walks lead along the beaches and the cliffs of our coastline. Walks include the Tullaher Bog Trail (Doonbeg) and the Slí na Sláinte Walks (signposted, in Doonbeg, Ennis (Ballyalla & Drumcliffe), Killimer and Kilmihill). If you like it less spectacular enjoy walking along quiet
back 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:
- The Burren way
from Lahinch to Ballyvaughan over the lunar landscape of the Burren (40 kms)
- the Mid Clare Way
a 100 km walking route, linking to the East Clare Way at Tulla - The Lough Derg Way
over 50 km along the banks of the River Shannon, starting from Limerick
