The Stairway to Heaven! ☁️ FERMANAGH HIKE IDE

The Stairway to Heaven! ☁️

FERMANAGH HIKE IDEA: Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail.

- Distance: 11km
- Trail type: Out & back
- Duration: 2.5-3 hours
- Level: Moderate
- Parking: Yes! You have to pay for parking. You can pay in either euro or sterling.

We did this hike in 2020 (Covid times) and there were 100’s on the trail. This time around we pretty much had the entire boardwalk to ourselves. It was perfect! 😍

We were so lucky with the weather too. It was warm but we had a light breeze the whole way up the stairway so happy days! 🔥😂

Tip: If you’re heading out here over the next few months bring bug spray. The midges had a field day with me on Friday! 😅😂

PS. My pink waterproof jacket is from @dare2b_ie summer collection. It’s super lightweight. I love it! Gifted*

Who is doing the Cuilcagh boardwalk trail this summer? 🥰

Jurassic Park vibes! Swipe 👉and you’ll what

Jurassic Park vibes!

Swipe 👉and you’ll what I mean. 🤍🏔 Fun fact: Madeira has lots of different natural swimming pools. 😍On our second last day we headed to Porto Moniz (a very cute little town) to check out the well-known Volcanic pools there.

We were spoilt with ‘Jurassic Park’ views and natural pools. A great place to hang out on a hot sunny day. FYI - You can hire sun beds during the high season and there’s a cafe/bar just up from the main volcanic pool so you will be all set for a day of soaking up the sun if you’re heading over this summer. ☀️

There are also some really nice Volcanic pools in the capital, Funchal. Definitely worth checking out. There’s also a nice bar set up there. 👀👌🏼

Who has been to a volcanic pool? 🤍

📍Praia da Ribeira da Janela

Another one of a kind viewpoint on the island of Madeira. 🌴How beautiful is this beach? It’s a great spot for swimming and snorkelling (note to self: bring snorkels next time😂). Definitely one for the list if you’re heading to the north coast of the island anytime soon.

Calheta is another nice area to check out on the island. We stayed there the last 3 nights of our trip. There are lots of nice restaurants at the marina so it’s a must for good food (and epic sunsets - swipe right 👀).

My favourite restaurant was @manifatturadigelato. The food was really good and the staff were so friendly. Ps. They’re famous for their gelato so definitely grab some before you leave. 🍦🍹

GOLDEN HOUR! 🌅 📍Achadas da Cruz, Madeira!

GOLDEN HOUR! 🌅

📍Achadas da Cruz, Madeira!

Catch a cable car (Teleférico das Achadas da Cruz) from the top of the cliff to an incredibly unique spot on the island, the traditional village of Fajá da Quebrada Nova.

Hidden away on the north-western coast of Madeira, the village was once home to
hundreds who tended to their livestock and
agriculture. Today, almost all of the small, traditional homes have been unoccupied for years.

Like something out of a dream! 🤍 We were the only people at the bottom of the mountain that evening so we had the entire place to ourselves. This was pretty cool.

THINGS TO KNOW:

I would recommend arriving early to beat the crowds. Catch a cable car down, enjoy the views and chill out at the coffee shop/viewpoint back at the top of the mountain when you’re done. If you’re planning on hiking down and back up go during the day when visiblity is good. It’s a much safer option.

Note: The cable car down to the village is meant to stay open until 5pm but the day we went they closed at 4:30pm so arrive early to be on the safe side.

We hiked down the cliff on a 2km trail. Note: The trail is steep and narrow, it is dangerous in places and there are big drop-offs along the way. If you’re not a fan on scrambling I would advice catching the cable car down and back up.

Considering going for sunset? We found the hike back up (after sunset) tough because we were trying to get back up before we lost sunlight. The darker it got the tricker it was to see the narrow/steep trail. We took a wrong turn and ended up having to back track. After a very rushed climb we made it back to the top. A tough but beautiful hike and an even nicer sunset! 🌅

A must if you’re planning on exploring Madeira anytime soon.

SAVE for later and TAG a friend you’d bring! 😍

Someone had their very first Afternoon Tea on Frid

Someone had their very first Afternoon Tea on Friday. Any guesses who? 👀🐶

We had a furry fun afternoon with tea, bubbly, sweet and savoury treats, @worldof_poco cuddles, catch ups with Poco’s mom @late_2_life and lots of doggy pampering. 🥰

Poco really enjoyed her chicken and rice dish. She was absolutely spoilt. Kudos to the chef. Shoutout to the staff at @conrad_dublin for making it an extra special afternoon out. 🐶

@conrad_dublin recently launched their dog-friendly Spring Afternoon Tea offering. They have the nicest selection of sweet and savoury treats. Ps. Their chocolate truffle tea is…👌🏼🤤!! The presentation and overall variety was really impressive. They also have a vegan Afternoon Tea option (I couldn’t not try some of this) which was delish.

Highly recommend popping in with your furry friend this Spring/Summer! 🐶☕️🧁🌼 Invite*

Ps. My dress is from @primark! 🤍 #IWorkWithPrimark

RISCO WATERFALL 🤍

This is one of the most beautiful places on the island and also one of the most popular hiking routes in Madeira.🌴

- Distance: 11km
- Trail type: Marked out & back trail
- Duration: 3-4 hours

Risco is possibly the biggest waterfall I’ve seen to date. 😍It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re doing the 25 Fontes hike. 🌴

Madeira: The Hawaii of Europe🌴

Find a more beautiful beach…I dare you! 👀Have you ever been to a beach with black sand?

Seixal has a stunning stretch of black sand and it has an incredible mountain backdrop. It gets better….! This beach has ridges and waterfalls too. Swipe for a sneak peek.🤍

A great spot for soaking up the sun, swimming and snorkelling. ☀️

Tip: arrive early to avoid crowds and to get a parking space close to the beach. We purposely rented a small car for parking. Our teenyyy tiny car was perfect for all of the teeny tiny parking spaces and the super narrow/extra hilly roads! 😅(if you know, you know) 😂👌🏼

Who has been to this beach? 🤍

Ps. My hat, top and skirt are all from @primark’s new summer collection. Collab* #IWorkForPrimark

MADEIRA HIKE IDEA: Vereda Da Ponta De São Lorenç

MADEIRA HIKE IDEA: Vereda Da Ponta De São Lorenço

We did this hike on our last full day on the island. It did not disappoint. A beautiful trail that takes you to the eastern tip of the island, with panoramic views of the north and south sides.

We had incredible cliff views the whole way around. Look at the colour of that water! 😍
The trail is steep in parts but it’s easy to follow.

It gets better…! There is a BAR at the top of the mountain. I kid you not. 👀😂👌🏼We nearly died with excitement when we saw the sign. We had a well deserved bottle of Cider after we reached the top.🍻

There’s a beautiful little beach on the way back down that you can stop off at if you want to go for a swim afterwards. It’s called Cais do Sardinha. There’s a clear trail down so you won’t miss it. 💦

- Trail type: Moderate
- Length: 8.4km
- Duration: 2-3 hours
- Child-friendly: Yes!

Below Deck: Madeira 👀

An afternoon of blue skies, dolphin spotting and bubbly on our own private charter. A day that won’t be forgotten anytime soon. This was such a nice afternoon with @theoutoutclub gang! 🤍

Did my Sea Legs kick in on time? Yes! 😂

Did lots of dolphins come to say hi? Yesss! We saw a few baby dolphins too. 🐬

Did the Captain ACTUALLY let me dock the catamaran (so I could put my epic parking skills to good use)? No. I can confirm that I would have wiped out/demolished/totalled the stern and half the boats in the marina. Maybe next time…! 👀

MADEIRA HIKE IDEA: Levada Das 25 Fontes & Risco

MADEIRA HIKE IDEA:

Levada Das 25 Fontes & Risco Waterfall Hike!

One of the most beautiful places on the island and also one of the most popular hikes in Madeira.🌴

Levada Das 25 Fontes was even more beautiful in person. We hit the trail at sunrise to beat the crowds. We ended up having 25 Fontes to ourselves when we first arrived.😍

Where did it get its name? It is a weeping wall with 25 streams pouring down into the pool. We couldn’t not go for a dip in the pool - I mean, it would have been rude not too! 😂Fun fact: the water was in fact freezing. 👀

Next waterfall on our route: the giant Risco Waterfall. This can be seen from a viewpoint along the way. Possibly the biggest waterfall I’ve seen to date. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re doing the LEVADA DAS 25 FONTES hike.

- Distance: 11km
- Trail type: Marked out & back trail
- Duration: 3-4 hours
- Level: Moderate

Who is planning a trip to Madeira this year? If so, what are you planning on seeing/doing when you’re over? 🥰🏄‍♀️☀️🌴

SUP?🏄‍♀️

An unreal morning exploring part of the island (on the water). Two epic tour guides, ten women, sunshine and a tonne of boards.😂👌🏼

A great way to see the island from a different perspective. We had lots of beautiful cliff views along the way. The best morning with the best bunch @theoutoutclub! 🥰

If you’re heading to Madeira anytime soon definitely look these guys up - @madeirasuptours! ☀️🏄‍♀️
