West Cork & Kerry Hiking Tour

‘A place apart’ is a term perhaps overused nowadays but in the case of the peninsulas of the southwest of Ireland – such a reference is surely appropriate.

Here beautiful fertile river valleys that flow to the ocean and who’s floors and sides are exquisite tapestries of small farmsteads have become the epicentre of Ireland’s Slow Food revolution. To the west, the landscape folds into mountainous fingers of land that extend into the North Atlantic separated by spectacular bays. It is a place of breathtaking beauty and home to vibrant rural and small town communities.

This short walking tour of West Cork and Kerry provides our guests to sample our very favourite walks and hikes in this region over a range of journeys to suit all levels of ability and interest. From rambling through ancient oak woodlands and silent valleys dotted with millennia of antiquity, to wild coastal headlands and rugged mountains – the walking here is the finest in Ireland!
