Things to do in Ireland in June
Here are a few of best things to do in Ireland in June, alongside visiting the best bars in Ireland for traditional music, which, in our view, is a must-do experience whenever you visit.
Hike the Wicklow Way
June’s mild weather is perfect for exploring the Wicklow Mountains. This famous trail runs through the serene lakes and ancient monastic ruins of Glendalough, as well as dramatic mountain landscapes.
Take your pick from hiking shorter sections, or enjoy full-on day walks to soak up Ireland’s natural beauty in more immersive style.
Drive the Wild Atlantic Way
The Wild Atlantic Way — a scenic road trip route along Ireland’s dramatic west coast — is arguably at its best in June, when its rugged cliffs, beaches and scenic villages are bathed in early summer sun.
Highlights include Achill Island (County Mayo), Slea Head Drive in Dingle, and Clifden in Connemara.
Be sure to stop off for fresh seafood, alongside enjoying exhilarating coastal walks and visiting cultural landmarks like Dún Aonghasa on the Aran Islands.
