Continue along the back-roads via Tralee to Limerick. Like many other Irish seaports, Limerick was settled in the ninth century by Vikings who came to plunder, but liked the neighborhood and settled down to trade.

Breath in the brisk morning air as you set out for the dramatic Cliffs of Moher, rising vertically 700 feet above the Atlantic in a five mile unbroken giant wall. Continue deep into rural Connemara.

Here luxury and tranquility are offered in a cozy atmosphere as you relax before a homey peat fire.

Day 6 — CONNEMARA
Lazy day to explore this spectacular marine setting between Lough Corrib and the Atlantic Ocean.

Neat white-washed cottages amid tiny rock-strewn fields with blue turf smoke rising skyward. It’s a way of life to be seen and treasured in your memory for years to come. Drift back to your Irish hideaway for a beautiful last evening.
