Dingle Peninsula Self-Guiding 10 Day Programme |

This mountainous finger of land, jutting into the Atlantic Ocean, has supported various tribes and populations for at least 6,000 years. |
SGDW5 Dingle Peninsula Self-Guided Mini-Break | Because of its remote location - and lack of specialised agriculture - there is a remarkable preservation of over 2000 monuments. It is impossible to visit the Dingle Peninsula and not be impressed by its archaeological heritage, which ranges from prehistoric times through the Early Christian period to the Middle Ages. Definately an Independent walking holiday not be forgotten

Burren / Connemara 8-day Self-Guiding Holiday | The Burren and Connemara face each other across Galway Bay, and yet it is hard to imagine two more contrasting landscapes. ‘Burren’ is derived from the Irish word boireann meaning ‘place of stone’, and the name could not be more apt. There is no part of Ireland where rock so obviously dominates the landscape as it does in the Northwest corner of County Clare.No other location in the World can match the uniqueness of this independent walking holiday location.

Burren Self-Guided Mini-Break |
Almost devoid of trees and surface water, it has been described as ‘lunar’ in its appearance, an ancient limestone plateau beneath which is a labyrinth of pot-holes, caves, streams and lakes. Surprisingly, this bizarre and apparently hostile environment is a botanist’s paradise as around ¾ of Ireland’s plant species are found in the Burren. There is no other independent walking holiday like this.

The Antrim Glens & Causeway Coast Independent Walking Tour |
A visit to Rathlin Island is a must to experience its flora and fauna, especially its wealth of seabirds in the spring and early summer. The unspoilt environment of Rathlin is a reminder of what much of Ireland was like before the advent of intensive mechanised farming. It is the largest island in Northern Ireland and is a model of co-operation and integration between the Catholic and Protestant communities.
