Take a walk in Ireland

READY to explore #Ireland on foot, asks walking and cycling specialists IrelandWays.com. It suggests these three #walkingtours in Ireland … 

The coastal paths of The Burren Way will take you to the Cliffs of Moher. Towering over the Atlantic, they’re one of Ireland's most iconic natural features. Ancient monuments such as dolmens and ring forts dot the landscapes of The Burren (which means big rock in Irish). Take a rest day in Doolin on the Wild Atlantic Way to allow you to cross by boat to the Aran Islands.

Follow in the footsteps of the giant Fionn Mac Cumhaill (pronounced Mc-Cool) walking the Causeway Coast Way and Moyle Way in Northern Ireland, a trail of legends and scenery. According to the myth, this epic landscape formed by more than 40,000 geometric rocks was the creation of giant Fionn Mac Cumhaill, who built to reach Scotland when he was challenged to a battle by a Scottish giant. 

The UNESCO-listed causeway is a must-see if you are visiting Ireland in 2016. If you are scared of heights, avoid the 65ft-long Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, built by local fishermen more than 200 years ago to take them to a small island where they could catch salmon.

The St. Cholmcille Way takes walkers to the Donegal coastal village named after St Cholmcille (or St Columba), an important pilgrimage destination for many centuries. On this trail, walkers will also reach some of the highest sea cliffs in Europe, the Slieve League Cliffs.The village of Ardara and panoramic views from the Glengesh Pass are two other unmissable stops on this tour.
