West Coast Cycle Tours

West Coast Cycle Tours is a guided cycling and walking tour operator based at Kilnamona, near Ennis in County Clare. The company runs small-group day tours through the Burren and along Clare’s stretch of the Wild Atlantic Way, keeping numbers low so that itineraries can be shaped around each group’s interests and fitness. Tours are limited to a maximum of four guests.

A typical day combines gentle cycling with time off the bike. Guests may walk across the Burren’s distinctive limestone pavement, visit landmarks such as the house used in the television series Father Ted and a local perfumery, and cycle at an easy pace along the Flaggy Shore before taking in views over the Cliffs of Moher and the Atlantic. Bikes and equipment are provided, and a guide travels with the group to share the history and character of the landscape along the way.

The operator has been recognised for its work, having been named Clare’s Top Tourism Experience in 2016 and featured as a top sports holiday by Cara Magazine in 2015. Full details of routes, seasons and booking are best confirmed directly with West Coast Cycle Tours.
