Day 3 starts off nice and early and takes us to our next stop on this tour

The Cliffs of Moher are one of the most popular tourist destinations in the whole of Ireland and topped a list of attractions in 2006by receiving almost one million visitors at the official visitors centre.

Whilst the Cliffs can be accessed at multiple points, as well as an 18 kilometre (11 mile) cliff walk, the majority of visitors come through the official visitor centre

St. Brigid’s well differs from the other Wells in Ireland in a number of ways. It is one of the oldest wells rumored to have healing powers and the running sound of the water is audible. It is housed in an open stone house or grotto that serves as a gateway to the ancient cemetery on the hill above it, accessible through steep paths and old stairs. The graveyard is the final resting place of several mythical kings and clan leaders of Ireland. Some still celebrate Brigid’s roots by spending the pagan holiday of Lughnasadh in the circular sanctuary of this well.

Originally a viking trading camp, Bunratty is situated in County Clare.  We take a tour of this iconic fortress; hear and see how the Lords and Ladies of this Castle lived.  We hear stories of battles and bravery as well as take in the stunning views across this idyllic countryside.

Bunratty Folk Park is the wonderfully intriguing Bunratty Folk Park.  Set on 26 acres of unspoilt Clare countryside, Bunratty Folk Park features over 30 buildings in a "Living" museum.  This village is the best way to see how we actually lived hundreds of years ago.  the shops are open, the clothes that the people wear are authentic and the class divide is obvious.

We now head back to our starting point after a wonderful tour and hopefully you will have many memories of your trip around Ireland.
