Offered in: English

On the long, coastal drive of South Donegal's Wild Atlantic Way stands Sliabh Liag, Europe's most accessible sea cliffs. On this tour, I will guide you along part of the county's 1200km of rugged coastline, traveling through some of the most remote villages in Ireland. On your trip you will learn about our rich maritime history at Killybegs, Ireland's premier harbour. At Muckross Head you'll gaze across the Donegal Bay towards the iconic Benbulben mountain in County Sligo, where our nation's greatest poet W. B. Yeats rests in peace. I will take you high up Bunglas, to view the spectacular Sliabh Liag (Slieve League) sea cliffs and allow for a short hike towards the top for what will leave you breathless in more ways than one. Afterwards, we'll step back in time with a visit to Glencolmcille Folk Village and learn about how life was a century or two before.
