Southern Ireland April 5, 2022 - April 13, 2022
Ireland is known for its wide expanses of lush, green fields – so much so, that its nickname is the Emerald Isle. But there are also large areas of rugged, rocky landscape, too. About 15,000 years ago, Ireland was completely covered by thick glaciers. The movement of these giant sheets of ice stripped the soil, leaving huge tracts of flat, limestone ground. From the windy tip of Cape Malin Head to the safe harbor of Kinsale, immerse yourself in the wilderness of Ireland's west coast, on the longest defined coastline route in the world.
