Trip Overview
Created by: Patricia Doe
The west coast of Ireland—and the Burren National Park specifically—has some of Ireland’s (and Europe’s) most diverse wildflowers. In this craggy alien landscape, wildflowers native to the Arctic all the way down to the Mediterranean grow between the rocks.
On this hiking journey across Ireland’s west coast, you will explore the Burren and its flowers, hop on a boat to sail out to the Aran Islands, home to ancient archaeology sites, and holding true to long-held Irish traditions—such as language, music, dance, and crafts. Walk along the breathtaking edge of the Cliffs of Moher before the summer crowds arrive, watch new lambs bouncing in the fields, and breathe in some of the freshest spring air.
