Reviews

Just Brilliant

"It's a must for the bucket list! We tried different seasons and none disappointed, every time was special. The shorter days and wilder weather in Winter is an experience not to be missed. Summertime is beautiful too and you have to capture the dawn and sunset on the horizon. Every day is different and well worth getting up very early for.. If you're seeking a super special heritage place to experience this is it!" (GMcNally).

High Point of a month long trip

"Wander alone along the cliffs amidst the sounds of seabirds or perch in a window to watch the rising sun illuminate a fox’s morning prowl. From a month long trip around Ireland, a country brimming with stunning vistas, fascinating stories and warm people, this is the one memory I will carry home closest to my heart." (Blanton)
