  • Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland
    This authentic hiking experience will provide a fascinating insight into this unique and primeval landscape of an Irish bog or peatland. As we journey through time, we will explore how the bog (or peatland) was formed, its myths and legends, an ancient monastic site and traditional turf cutting. We will also look at the unique biodiversity of the bog and its role in the fight against climate change. In addition we will also see green energy in action as we ramble through this dramatic landscape. Enjoy panoramic views of the Wild Atlantic Way of Inishowen and West Donegal.

My wife and I spend an amazing day with Sharon, Solas Ireland Walks and Hikes, exploring the northern most point of Ireland, Malin Head. Sharon has a deep knowledge of this area and its history. We had lovely weather (not always the case) and the views of the sky, the sea, and the landscape were breathtaking. I would highly recommend spending time with Sharon walking through the Irish landscape - bogs, coast, mountains - can't think of a better way to spend the day! It was brilliant!

Thoroughly enjoyed this hike, guided by Sharon who knows the area and its history like the back if her hand. It was amazing walking right through the wild, vast Donegal landscape you usually only experience from a car window. The bog with its scattered remains of ancient oak trees and the breathtaking views once we got higher up is something I highly recommend. A+!

Had an amazing 3.5 hour walk through an active peat bog with Sharon on 9/24. A native to the area (we walked through her family’s land), she is a wealth of knowledge about the history, ecology and geology of the bog, and of peoples effect on it, both from human and machine harvesting of the peat. She showed me firsthand the effects of machine harvesting on the fragile land, and was a vocal advocate for how important it is to reclaim and preserve these bog areas from a climate change perspective. Along with the Amazon rainforest, these bogs truly are “the lungs” of the world. We saw healthy and unhealthy peat, gorgeous silken mosses, and all manner of flowers and grasses native to the area… not to mention sheep!! It was a fascinating and beautiful walk. Can’t recommend highly enough. I hope to be back for other walks in the future!
