Tours & Activities in Liscannor

The Burren is one of Ireland’s most spectacular landscapes and the best way to explore it is by electric bike. Beat the hills and the headwinds, and pedal your way through this amazing region steeped in history on a self-guided tour; the electric bike will do most of the work while you enjoy spectacular views of the lunar landscape and the many historical sites; stop at Poulnabrone Dolmen, ancient ring forts and archaeological gems. You have from 3 to 8 hours to complete the tour in your own time, depending on the time you start your tour. Latest return time is 5.30pm.

You will cycle out into the wild Burren on electric bikes, visit historical locations such as iron age ring forts and a dolmen, and experience the amazing flora and landscape of this protected region. You will cycle on small back roads with little or no traffic, seeing the parts of the Burren most visitors never see. We will stop for lunch or coffee, or simply chat to the local people, and of course, get plenty of fresh air. You will bike as much or as little as you wish, and if the weather is really bad, there is always a Plan B!
