one of the most varied half-day tours I know

This stone desert is interrupted by lush green fields, while the striking geological formations of Doonmore Hill dominate the scene in the background. There is something magical about the stark beauty of this region, and as I rode my road bike along the gently rising roads, I could hardly take my eyes off the varied shapes and colours. The dry stone walls that can be seen everywhere here tell of the long history of agriculture in this area and reinforce the feeling of being in an almost surreal environment.

Kilkee Cliffs - this route is a real challenge! As soon as you start pedaling, you'll feel the wind from the Atlantic in your face, while an impressive coastal landscape stretches out before you. The view of the cliffs is simply picturesque - you really have to force yourself not to stop to fully enjoy the beauty. Even if the route seems quiet, you should always keep your eyes on the sometimes steep descents and bends. The viewpoint is ideal for a short break, from which you can look far out over the roaring sea. Perfect for a picnic and a little rest before continuing on.

There's something very special about this route along the Cliffs of Kilkee. Gliding over the gently curved roads on a racing bike while the roaring waves of the Atlantic attack the mighty cliffs below is a special experience. The road offers a constantly elevated perspective, giving you new views of the steep cliffs and the endless sea. Even though the weather can often be changeable, the tour is worth it in any weather. The wind can be strong and the roads may not always be perfect, but that's exactly what makes this route so special. It's not just a ride, but almost a dialogue with the raw nature that is omnipresent here on the coast of Ireland. If you're lucky, the cries of seabirds will accompany you, and with a little attention you might also spot the small pink flowers that bravely cling along the cliffs.

Cycling along the coastal road, you'll be treated to beautiful views across Carrigaholt Bay to Carrigaholt Castle. Dating back to the late 15th century, the ruins tower over the bay and silently tell tales of times gone by. Although it's more of a fortified manor house than a traditional castle, there's something majestic about it that draws your gaze. As you take in the views, you can feel the salty sea air wafting over here and take in the peaceful vibe of this remote corner of Ireland. It's the perfect place for a quick break before continuing your ride - a little reminder that even the simplest moments on the bike can be so much more.

When you cycle and climb the serpentines in the Burren, you will quickly realise why this place is so special. The landscape opens up before you like a picture that combines the rugged beauty of the limestone karst with the lush green of the valley. Every pedal stroke brings you closer to this breathtaking view - a mix of rocky hills, old dry stone walls and the wide plains of County Clare. As you move along the winding roads, you can not only admire the impressive rock formations, but also enjoy the tranquility of the place. The Burren tells its own story that goes far back into the past. There is something timeless about standing up here, looking out over the karst landscape. The climb may be challenging, but the reward is the view - not just of the panorama, but also of the small details that make this region so unique. Pack your water bottle, sit on the saddle and be impressed by the Burren and its fascinating geology
