You arrive with the Atlantic wind before you see the cliffs: a cold, salt-laced breath that pushes gulls into a ragged parade and teases the edge of limestone that drops into a foaming blue. The tour unfolds like a coastal chapter—morning coffee in Adare’s stone streets, a stroll through Bunratty’s reconstructed 19th-century folk park, then the long ribbon of road west where the land leans toward the ocean and the Cliffs of Moher dominate the skyline.
