Overlooked by Croagh Patrick, Irelands holiest mountain, lies Clew Bay. Quite possibly one of Ireland’s most spectacular bays, it is said that Clew Bay contains an island for every day of the year. It is also home to Clare Island, the kingdom of Grace O’Malley, the legendary pirate queen who commanded a fleet of ships and maintained several castles, including those on Clare Island, Achill and Rockfleet.
The Clew Bay Trail gives riders the opportunity to soak in the history and charm of this special region. Your host comes from a long line of passionate horsemen, with the ride’s base at the family’s award-winning stud farm, which has produced and shown quality horses for decades. Follow the path of Saint Patrick through forests and peat bogs, then to the coast and over mountain passes. This riding itinerary gives plenty of opportunities for good riding and also to enjoy the hospitality and culture of the locals in the village.
This 6-night itinerary includes 5 days exploring the coastal & mountain areas in the West of Ireland! Explore the charming town of Westport, listen to traditional Irish music in popular local pubs, enjoy some of the best cuisine Ireland has to offer, and, most importantly . . . ride along miles of countryside, mountains, and beaches!
