Itinerary

DAY 1

Your bags are packed ready to go, all you have to do is meet our luxury coach at your selected pick-up point where you will be welcomed onboard by one of our experienced Tour Managers. Now sit back and relax as we begin our quest to discover the 3 Counties of the West.

Donegal Town is a fairy-tale place that you will want to explore! You have some free time here before descending to our home for the duration of the trip in the Enniscrone coast. You won’t want to miss the recently restored Donegal Castle or if you’re looking for souvenirs, snag a hand-woven tweed, the signature goods of the area.

DAY 2

Sligo’s scenery is unrivalled which you will discover today. As we make our way to the spectacular 50ft high Glencar Waterfall, we enter an area of outstanding natural beauty. The scenic Glencar Valley and Glencar Lake, formed by glaciers, will have you blown away with its raw beauty. Glencar served as an inspiration to WB Yeats and features in his poem ‘The Stolen Child’. Trace the footsteps of Yeats at Lissadell House and Gardens. The historic and literary associations of Lissadell and the wild dramatic natural beauty of its setting with mountains, sea and woodlands makes Lissadell a must visit heritage attraction. Afterward we travel to Sligo Town with time to delve into the rich cultural and literary heritage Sligo is famous for.

DAY 3

En-route to Westport we travel along the infamous Wild Atlantic Way, admire the stunning scenery and views it presents. The Heritage town of Westport one of Irelands major tourist destinations. Located at the south east corner of Clew Bay, near the sea with the famous Mayo Mountains in the backdrop.

The town offers some fabulous picturesque views and features, deemed the undiscovered riviera of the Wild Atlantic Way. Take time to explore the elegant tree-lined streets along the river known as The Mall. Bustling Bridge Street is the main shopping street with cheerful shop fronts. Treat yourself to some retail therapy or relax and enjoy the food and drink this fabulous town has to offer.

DAY 4

The brightly painted harbour city of Galway is where you will spend the day. Enjoy the city’s wonderful cobbled streets, colourful shop facades, and its offbeat café/bar culture. Where the winding lanes of the Latin Quarter are bursting at the seams with cosy little pubs alive with music. Why not visit some of Galway’s many attractions, Eyre Square, Spanish Arch, Galway City Museum, or the Cathedral. We visit the village of Knock on the way back to Enniscrone, home of the Knock Shrine. Knock is an international place of prayer and pilgrimage where over one and a half million people make their way every year making it both a tourist and spiritual destination.

DAY 5

Checking out of our home on the west coast is not the end of the adventure. On our way back to reality we have a bonus visit to the charming town of Enniskillen, who’s Main Street changes name six times along its length. Enniskillen has a special atmosphere about it, as it separates the Upper and Lower sections of Lough Erne, so be sure to take it all in.

You bid farewell to our wonderful tour manager as the coach drops you off at your original pick-up point.
