More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into a Mercedes with the Atlantic wind still clinging to your jacket, windows framing low, slate-coloured mountains and sudden ocean blue. The road climbs out of Galway, weaving past stone walls and lakes until the air tastes of salt and peat. Over the next three days you move through Connemara’s rugged folds, listen to sheepdogs answer whistles in the Burren, and stand where the Cliffs of Moher throw themselves into the Atlantic.
