Why You Should You Hike in Ireland in August

Discover the Beauty of Ireland one of our August Hiking Tours. See below for a list of our hiking adventures in August.

If you’ve travelled in Europe before, particularly in southern Europe, you may be imagining August as the month in which every resident flocks to the French, Italian or Spanish Riviera or at least somewhere along the seaside. In many countries, life seems to stop; everything from stores to restaurants to doctor’s offices slows to a stop.

This is not the case with Ireland. August in Ireland runs smoothly, just like any other month. However, do note that this is peak tourist season, so do expect to see some crowds. However, most tourists do flock to a few ‘hotspots’ (the Ring of Kerry, the Cliffs of Moher, the main streets of Galway, Killarney and Dublin, etc.).
