The West gets under your skin like no other place in the world, offering an unparalled experience to all who visit. The haunting drama of the Donegal landscape includes the enchanting Glenveagh National Park and Castle; Yeats' County can be viewed from on high with a hike to the table top of Ben Bulben in County Sligo; or you could try a different vantage point with an ocean voyage to the magical Aran Islands in County Galway or Achill Island , County Mayo.

For those with a serious head for heights, nothing rewards more than a stroll along the magnificent Cliffs of Moher County Clare! A little closer to sea level, picturesque Lough Key Forest Park in Roscommon is a haven of tranquility while the legendary beauty of the majestic River Shannon stretching through the cruising counties of Leitrim Offaly and Limerick can literally take your breath away. Serviced by no less than five regional airports, you can hop on a plane to Shannon, Galway, Knock, Donegal and even nearby City of Derry airport to kickstart your holiday!

So whether you want to soothe your soul in utter isolation on a remote island or feel the passion at a high-spirited summer festival, the wild and wonderful West has it all
