I came to Ireland specifically to ride, so my expectations were fairly high. Mountain View exceeded them. Sweet, well-cared for, beautiful horses and LOVELY and welcoming guides, stunning views during the rides-- the beach ride was probably the most amazing thing I've done on any trip in my entire life. The weather was super rainy for me but I still had the time of my life. The weather didn't both the horses at all, Wear rain gear! A ride with Mountain View is a must if you're in the area (or if you aren't in the area, I came in from Dublin and was very glad I did).

Caher Valley Loop

Reviewed By earth81_13 - Galway, Ireland

A lovely walk to get away from it all. Met very few people on this loop. Started off by going left out of Fanore beach car park, & took right turns there after until coming back to the carpark. Start off with road surface & then the climb starts on the grassy surface. & it is a climb, & just when you think you have reached the top, you go around the corner, & there is another little hill. But once you reach the top of that hill, it is downhill all the way home. Lovely views once you get back on the road surface heading back to the carpark. Took 3 hours, with about a 20 min stop for a picnic lunch.

Clare Coastal Walk Project

Reviewed By WhereToTry - Waterford, Ireland

Spectacular views on this walk. Truly amazing and well-worth taking a few hours out of your day to go on it. It is not too difficult but good walking runners or boots are definitely a must. There are quite a lot of boggy areas (even in dry weather) to cross over. This is definitely a must if in Doolin or nearby.

Lough Avalla Farm Looped Walk

Reviewed By aoiferua1

This is by far and away my favourite walk. It's quite rugged, but it's just so different all along the way. Walking along beautiful tree-lined paths, through the forest, walking from one Burren stone to the next, a bit of climbing, a lake, 2 cairn burial mounds and a holy well! And then tea and cake with Harry the owner at the end. Can really highly recommend it. The rocks can be slipping if it's raining. Great for families but not for very young kids.
