Undiscovered, unspoilt and uncrowded: enchanting West Ireland provides the perfect place to blow away the cobwebs of everyday life. Offering a soothing antidote of gentle, rolling hills and green mountains with cracked facades, atmospheric towns and villages and formidable stretches of coastline, this is Ireland's poetry-inspired scenery at its best.
On a coach holiday to West Ireland, meet Mother Nature and feel the wind on your face on the magical Aran Islands, take a bracing cliff-top stroll along the impressive Cliffs of Moher, head to an atmospheric town and live it up in a pub that plays foot-tapping Irish music or embark on a pilgrimage of the sacred Croagh Patrick Mountain and Knock Shrine. On coach trips to Ireland's wonderful West, you may want to take in the dramatic Donegal landscape or head south to Sligo town to soak up its rural atmosphere and wander around the wonderfully preserved Sligo Abbey. Whether you want to visit County Monaghan, the birthplace of another of Ireland's poets Patrick Kavanagh, or see the wonderful Carrickmacross Lace that featured in Princess Diana's wedding dress Ireland's wild west has it all.
