Ireland – County Clare, The Cliffs of Moher & The Burren

7 Days Sunday 20^th – Saturday 26^th September

Staying at the 4 star Falls Hotel, Ennistymon & The 4-star Trim Castle Hotel, Trim

The west coast of Ireland is our destination for this holiday, often called the Wild Atlantic Way with sheer coastal cliffs reaching 650 feet tall, and the stark moonscapes of the Burren.  While here we include a visit to the Cliffs of Moher and visitors centre as well as Galway City and the coastal villages of Kilkee and Kilrush and the inland town of Lisdoonvarna.  Our hotel here is the quality Falls Hotel which stands on the river overlooking a water fall.  Our 2 overnight stays are at the Trim Castle Hotel in the town of Trim which overlooks the famous castle where part of Braveheart was filmed.
