Afternoon

Dunguaire Castle and The Burren Region

The first stop of the afternoon is the attractive village of Kinvara, where you get a chance to take in the dramatic Dunguaire Castle and discover its remarkable historical legacy before stopping for a spot of lunch.
From here you head to the Burren. This is one of Ireland's most arresting landscapes: a patchwork of glacial limestone pavements, rare flora and ancient stone monuments. The Burren was also home to one of the earliest Christian settlements in Ireland. You'll stop here to visit Corcomroe Abbey, a 13th-century ruined monastery that sits against a backdrop of the Burren Mountain.

Next, you arrive at the Cliffs of Moher along the Wild Atlantic Way, where you can stroll the cliff trails or watch rare seabirds. Alternatively, if the cliffs don't take you in, you can spend a little more time exploring the coastal town of Lahinch. After soaking in the beauty, you'll head to Galway City for the night.
