Are you looking for a short break but don’t fancy travelling alone? Why not experience the fun of holidaying with a group of fellow single travellers? Come with us on a fantastic break to the West of Ireland, home to the world-famous coastal route, the Wild Atlantic Way. You’ll be joining a warm and friendly atmosphere which allows you to share the holiday experience and make new friends along the way. With visits to the enchanting Brigit’s Garden and the charming cities of Galway and Dublin, as well as the chance to take in the stunning beauty of the Cliffs of Moher, this is a wonderful way to explore Ireland.
COACH ITINERARY Day 1 We catch the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin where our tour manager joins us. We continue onwards to our overnight hotel in Mullingar. Day 2 Brigit’s Garden, Galway & Lisdoonvarna or Ennis We head to the award-winning Brigit’s Garden, set within 11 acres of native woodland and wildflower meadows. The series of four gardens takes us on a journey through the Celtic heritage, mythology and the cycle of the seasons, with each garden representing one of the Celtic festivals of Samhain, Imbolc, Bealtaine and Lughnasa. We enjoy an included lunch after our visit. We continue on to Galway and enjoy a guided tour of this cosmopolitan city with our tour manager. Galway has the added bonus of a seaside setting with beautiful beaches and a promenade. Later, we check in to our hotel in Lisdoonvarna or Ennis, where we stay for the next three nights. Day 3 Limerick & Bunratty Folk Park Our day starts in Limerick where we enjoy a guided tour with our tour manager. With a lively atmosphere and a rejuvenated waterfront, Limerick combines Irish tradition and modernity. Built on the River Shannon, the city is overlooked by the majestic 13th-century King John’s Castle and is also home to St John’s Cathedral. We continue on to the charming village of Bunratty where, after an included lunch at the famous Durty Nelly’s pub, we take a step back in time at Bunratty Folk Park to experience village life in 19th-century Ireland. Rural farmhouses, village shops and streets
have been recreated as they would have appeared at that time while costumed characters portray the traditions and lifestyle of a bygone age. Day 4 The Burren & Cliffs of Moher We explore the unique landscape of The Burren with a guided tour by our tour manager. With its limestone rocks, lakes and cliffs, the area is rich with historical and archaeological sites and is renowned for its remarkable assemblage of plants and animals. After an included light lunch in Lisdoonvarna, we continue on to the magnificent Cliffs of Moher including the fascinating visitor centre. Stretching for eight miles along County Clare’s Atlantic Coast and 214m at their highest, the cliffs offer stunning views towards the Aran Islands and Galway Bay from three different viewing platforms. They are also home to one of the major colonies of cliff nesting seabirds in Ireland. Day 5 Dublin Checking out of our hotel, we travel to Dublin where we take a locally guided tour of Ireland’s capital. Some of the sights here include the historic Temple Bar area, Trinity College, Dublin Castle and the Ha’Penny Bridge. We then spend the night in our hotel close to Dublin. Day 6 We check out of our hotel very early to catch the ferry back to Holyhead; therefore a voucher will be provided to enjoy breakfast on board. On arrival in Holyhead, we continue our journey home.
