WALKING
The rush of the modern world has seemingly pushed people past the rolling mountains, towering cliffs, swathes of white sand beaches and tiny villages of Northern Ireland and County Donegal. Lucky us! This region of Ireland is as romantically remote as it has been for generations and so far, it has eluded the hoards of "hit and run tourists" that can occasionally overrun small communities in popular destinations like Ireland.
Our route takes us from the Giant’s Causeway, along the northern edge of Ireland to the dramatic edge of some of Europe’s highest sea cliffs. We'll explore rugged headlands, vast bogs and coastal paths rich in wildlife.
CONNECTION
The rugged and beautiful wilderness of the Causeway Coastal Route and the iconic Giant’s Causeway,was collectively rated as one of the world’s best regions to visit in 2018 by Lonely Planet. The northern edge of Ireland to the dramatic mountains and glens of the Donegal, we'll hike across mountain landscapes awash with myths and legends, we’ll taste the freshest of seafood, retiring each evening to comfortable and characterful lodgings.

City streets, village cobblestone walkways, well-worn countryside paths with uphill and downhill components. Achieving a specific destination (point A to B) is not usually the goal and alternative transportation or participation level is generally available.
