Explore offers eight days’ cycling through quintessential Ireland for £579 pp. Pedal past the best of the Burren (where Father Ted was filmed): windswept green fields, ruined castles and towering sea cliffs beside the Atlantic Ocean, all on traffic-free roads. Spend evenings listening to fiddles and whistles in vintage pubs. Graded ‘easy’.

Price includes transportation, seven nights’ B&B in small hotels and the services of a tour leader. Departs 24 May.
