There are lots of people out there who are dedicated hikers and love this way of exploring when they travel.

I was so excited to discover that CIE TOURS have a small group guided hiking/walking tour.

We like to call this “light adventure” as we won’t be asking you to climb Mt Everest !!! The tours include up to 5 hours of scenic walking each day at a comfortable pace – covering 2 – 6 miles over mostly paths and hill trails.

These small group tours never exceed 16 guests – and by the end of the day you can relax in 4-star accommodation – and you have definitely earned your Guinness for the day!

The tour starts and finishes in Dublin – which is helpful for planning flights – and then heads out to the scenic west of Ireland to enjoy stunning cliffs, woodlands and brooks. You will get to experience hands on the rural Irish life such as traditional turf-cutting – the ancient practice of harvesting peat for fuel. You also get to knead a loaf of traditional soda bread and watch it bake on the open hearth.
