Get off the Beaten Track in East Clare – a gem in Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands

Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands is all about slowing down and getting off the beaten track so that you can recharge your batteries. What better way to do this than visit the Lough Derg Blueway. With its blissful, blue, clear water and beautiful, dramatic surrounding countryside, the Lough Derg Blueway stretches across three Irish counties - Clare, Tipperary and Galway - each with its own list of activities, trails and loops to explore. Best of all, you can do it your way – by canoe, paddle board, under sail, cruising, by bicycle or by foot.
