Highlights

Bunratty Castle and Folk Park - After arriving to Limerick, we head out to Bunratty Castle. The castle was completed in 1425 and, after many years of neglect, has been restored to its former glory. There is a folk park here and many of the buildings
including the village
were dismantled at various locations in the region and rebuilt, brick by brick, at their present location.
Cliffs of Moher - Enjoy some free time at the Cliffs of Moher - among some of the highest sea cliffs in Europe.
The Burren - From the Cliffs of Moher, we take the coast road for much of the way to Galway, with time for photos along The Burren. This is a national park and the word Burren comes from the Irish Language and means
rocky place
-. It is a unique lunar landscape of limestone. Today the Burren is noted for its diverse flora with few parallels elsewhere in Ireland or, indeed, Europe. As time permits, we will make a short stop here for photographs.
Eyre Square - Traffic dependent, there will be some free time upon your arrival in Galway to get some dinner and look at some shops, etc.

Ian the Great - Excellent day all around. Ian of Railtours Ireland was knowledgeable and engaging, and very much a joy to have as our guide for the day. Pubs along the way had delicious food, beer and Irish coffee. The Cliffs were obviously the highlight, and a cannot miss place. Highly recommend the travel by rail as there was often more room to relax (with bathrooms!) than on a coach. Would absolutely recommend this trip and any experience with Railtours Ireland.
