A Day Trip From Dublin Into The Countryside...
If you have the time, and you want to see a bit more of Ireland
, take a trip to the west of Ireland.. Ireland is well known for its natural, unspoilt beauty and unique landscape, so why not sample some of this on a day out? A holiday in Ireland is really not complete if you have not seen the rolling hills, dry-stone walls leading to who-knows-where, or the dramatic coast with its cliffs and rock formations situated in the west of Ireland. If this sounds like what you are looking for, you might want to go on a Cliffs of Moher day trip.Such trips leave from Dublin early morning, and you are back in Dublin at around 7pm that evening. Take a circular route, as it ensures that you get a constant variation of views on the countryside while travelling. A good operator will also try to maximise your experience by being off the bus as much as possible. The drive there is part of the fun, as you will be travelling the width of Ireland, (which is, granted, not the biggest country in the world) seeing the changing landscapes pass you by. And as they say: life is a journey, not a destination.
A suggested route would be to take the N7 to Limerick, and then to work your way along the coast up to the Cliffs and through the wild remote limestone region called the Burren, after which you return on the N6 back to Dublin.
It is a full day out, as you encounter castles, the bog lands, and of course the famous Cliffs of Moher to enjoy. The Cliffs of Moher are green, scenic and dramatic, contrasting with the Burren which seems to be desolate and bare (even though it supports a wide range of fauna and flora).
What are the Cliffs of Moher? They are a line of sheer cliffs some 8km in length, extending from Lough Point in the north to Cancregga in the south, on the coastline in County Claire . The cliffs attain their maximum height of 200m at Knockardakin just northeast of O'Briens's Tower .This is also where the lookout point is , with a bit of a walk from the environmentally friendly visitor centre. The view there is dramatic, with sea-bird swirling around.
Scenery on the way includes the Aran Islands in the distance, Galway Bay, the Curragh (horse country), a Treaty Stone from the Battle of the Boyne, Bunratty and King Johns Castles, the beaches at Fanore and Lahinch, and much more. You also stop over at the traditional village of Doolin - famous for its impromptu music sessions - for lunch and a walk around. Ring forts, bog lands, and the famous spine of Ireland- the River Shannon- is waiting to be discovered on this trip!
As you can imagine, there is much more to Ireland than the big old cities. This trip is a helpful opportunity for any-one with a bit of wanderlust and curiosity to see the "real Ireland" with its space and timelessness, coupled with a good dose of craic -and we are not talking about drugs here!
So you have visited the churches, the pubs, and done the shopping for the rest of the family. Been there, done that. What are you waiting for? Go explore!
