When traveling the Wild Atlantic way make sure to visit Loophead the Gem in the west.
Loophead Guided Walking Tours can show you some of the spectacular attractions on the peninsula.
All our walks are off the beaten track. We will take you to hidden beaches where you can go wild swimming, rarely visited cliff top scenery to rival the Cliffs of Moher, ruins of castles and churches dating back to the 10th century. Lighthouses, lookout tower, artillery battery and lots and lots of graveyards, holy wells and sunken ships.
Make sure to hook up with Martin at Loop Head Walking Tours to plan your visit to the west of Ireland. We offer guided walks on the West Clare peninsula each with its own unique perspectives.
For example some of our trips are on the Wild Atlantic and more are on the “sometimes” calmer Shannon estuary. One is a heritage walk of the Victorian town of Kilkee and another is the monastic walk at Kilcredaun on the western side of the village of Carrigaholt.
On any of these walks we can arrange for a packed lunch or on the longer ones we can arrange a picnic to be set up at the ½ way stage. Some of our walks have spectacular swimming coves hidden away from public view. On these we advise bringing your swim wear “weather permitting “.
For anyone wishing to visit some of our destinations on bikes by road we can arrange for eBike hire (local bike hire company) to facilitate you. We can also provide you with a picnic lunch on your excursion.
