And wild camping, a lot of it.
There are certain locations where wild camping is permitted on Achill Island.
And whether you ask the locals or you kind of do a bit of research ahead of time, there's lots of forums and there's lots of places where you can learn online about where it is and isn't permitted to camp, kind of avoiding the dunes to avoid coastal erosion.

I think I'll speak to people who maybe have their cars and they want to stay off the train.
I'm just back from the week before last road trip around Clare, which was absolutely brilliant.
We were high on nature in Clare two weekends ago.
In the bird sanctuary of all places, Aloe Caves has this brilliant combination of the cave and the kind of incredible geological landscapes that's there.

The ecosystem there.

It's a beautiful part of the world to pull up in the car, stop, look out and just take it all in.
The burn is incredible.
You can head in any direction.
It's brilliant.
