On this loop around Mullaghmore (Burren National Park) you'll encounter nearly everything what the Burren limestone landscape has to offer: megalithic tombs, ring forts, endless stone walls, hidden green valleys, flowers among bare rock, wild goats, viewpoints, hills & lakes. The route is mostly on small paved roads except for 4kms on a "Green Road", an old cattle track. There are still cattle around, so from autumn to spring this part can be a bit muddy. This track is also a great day hike (around
20kms, allow 6-8 hrs) if you take the "Famine Road" and follow the red markers across Mullaghmore Mountain ('Mullaghmore Traverse').
Length: 24 kms, 2 - 3 hrs. cycling,
6-8 hrs hiking

The cliffs of Kilkee are far less known, but not less impressive than the Cliffs of Moher... and no entrance fees, few people only, tranquility! Most people only walk the mile from Kilkee's West End up to the first cliff, but it's well worth to walk all the way along the coast. This is a suggested loop, but you can do it along the coast only, in both directions, take a short cut halfway - or walk it. All is very rewarding.
max. length 18.4 km, ~2 hrs
