Ireland's Shannon Region is ideal countryside for horse riding year-round. Ireland’s modern and fully equipped equestrian centres offer the full spectrum of riding options, from an afternoon gallop, or a leisurely trek to a fully organised, all-in, week-long trail riding experience.
Some of the most beautifully scenic riding areas include the Green Roads of the Burren, Tipperary Hills, Glen of Aherlow, Galtee Mountains, the Golden Vale, and the rugged Slieve Bloom Mountains.
Trail-riding for a few days or an entire holiday opens a wonderful vista, the joy of exploring the countryside on horseback with like-minded company and access to scenery known to few. So be sure to check out the following trails in the Shannon Region.
Hillcrest Riding Centre, located in Galbally Co. Tipperary, offers a week long Ballyhoura/Glen of Aherlow trail. This trail takes you through one of Ireland’s most spectacular and scenic areas situated in Counties Limerick, Cork and Tipperary.
The Galway-Clare-Burren Trail is a six-day, seven-night post to post trail. Each trek averages 22 km per day.
Mountain View Horse Riding Centre is a newly established facility in the heart of the Burren which enables you to enjoy panoramic views of Galway Bay, the Burren and Cliffs of Moher on horseback. Trails options range from one hour to full days trails.
