You will walk around the farm, meet our sheep, hear the story of the land and its people back to famine times and beyond. This is a hill farm so involves a bit of hill walking at a leisurely pace that suits you. We are organic, and I am a farming for nature ambassador continuing old traditions of farming handed down through five generations of our family who have nurtured and cared for this land and preserved its natural habitat to the present day. You will see wonderful scenery on the walk. See, Peat Bog, turf harvested for the fire in bygone days, see diversity of seasonal plants and flowers that grow on the mountain. The purple heather and yellow gorse. Sometimes, the skylark will serenade us on our walk. A rare bird in most parts of Ireland these days. We will visit the Archaeological site, standing stone on the farm, see and hear about Fairy Forts and the early settlers on these lands. Learn about our trees, unique habitat. If you like this experience but the scheduled time or date does not suit, please message me and we can schedule a time that does. The walk is on a hill sheep farm so we don't allow dogs. The land is average mountain land sometimes wet, good walking boots/shoes and light rain gear needed. About 2 hours! At the end of this walk, you might well feel, that time has stood still in our valley.

Alpacas take to trekking quite easily. They walk in a line, one behind the other on a head collar & lead rope. Our guided treks start at our farm and ascend into the forest. The walk itself is at a very leisurely pace and lasts about 1.5 hours (there are inclines and the terrain is uneven with tree roots underfoot). PLEASE NOTE: MINIMUM AGE 12 YEARS, no infant carriers (and all guests must speak English). When you arrive on site, the alpacas will be grazing, and we will call them in using their yellow food bucket! Simon and I will introduce you to the alpacas whist getting them ready with head collars and leads. We will have a brief health & safety chat, as well as give you some idea of what to expect and some pointers so you can interact with your alpaca. We will also introduce you to all of their individual quirks and personalities. Alpacas are not able to carry packs or people, so they will accompany us as we walk the forest trail. We try not to let them stop to nibble grass for long periods. Half-way around the walk, we release the alpacas in an enclosed area, so we can feed them treats, and you can get very close and intimate with them. They will love you when we give you the apples and carrots to feed them. There will be plenty of photo opportunities throughout your visit. When we return to the farm, we will finish with a fibre and spinning demonstration.

Embark on a captivating 2.5-hour journey through the lesser-known but breathtakingly beautiful Toe Head Peninsula along Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. This guided clifftop hike immerses you in nature, Irish heritage, and the protected wildlife of the Sheep's Head to Toe Head Special Protected Area (SPA). Starting near the Irish Coast Guard's Toe Head Station, you'll explore vibrant fields of wildflowers, rugged rocky outcrops, and diverse wildlife such as choughs and peregrine falcons. Delve into the Irish concept of dúchas, connecting with history, nature, heritage, and environment using all five of your senses. Learn traditional Irish words for flora and fauna, such as rón (seal), snas na gcloch (lichen), and cág cosdearg (red-legged crow). Hear loads of tales from local folklore, including the tale of heroine Nell Ruadh's bravery in the battle of Tráigh Liceach in 1823. The tour finishes at the picturesque Tráigh Liceach strand where we take a refreshing tea or coffee break. Discover the essence of West Cork's Wild Atlantic Way through the awe-inspiring beauty, exhilarating experiences, and deep connections with nature, conservation, and Irish heritage. This hike on the Toe Head Peninsula is the perfect setting for an unforgettable adventure, leaving you with a profound appreciation for the natural world and richness of Irish culture.

The captain and crew are not just navigators of the sea but storytellers of the land. They bring to life the legends, history, and natural wonders of Valentia Island, making your tour a truly immersive experience. Discover from the water's edge, a 6th-century Monastery on Church Island, which was used by Skelligs Monks surrounded by the safety of Valentia Harbour. Then continue to learn of the Viking's invasion of the Skellig Coast who then developed a village on the neighbouring Beginish Island where ruins remain today. At speed admire the castle from the river of Cahersiveen to be transported back in time to when the High Kings of Ireland built their mighty castles and fought blooding battles to keep their lands. Following the stunning views of the majestic coastline of Beginish Island and Valentia, the Captain will then lead the tour to the white walls of Valentia Island Lighthouse. Originally a Cromwellan Fort but today a working Lighthouse, this corner of the island overlooking Dingle Bay has stories dating back to the 17th century and before. Sit and watch the waves crashing on the rocks below while listening to the stories of shipwrecks, Pirates and more. The last part of the harbour adventure glides guests past the seaside village of Knightstown village, once a bustling waterfront with the operation of the Transatlantic Telegraph Cable that was laid in 1866.

I always aim to make my walks a very special and memorable experience for my clients. If you wish a higher level of hiking, please check on Airbnb my walk” Guided hike Carrauntoohil”

Carrauntoohil is Ireland's highest mountain, with 1,038 metres of height (3,405 feet). It's a strenuous walk ideal for a person with a good fitness level, hill walking experience & hiking boots. Groups are welcome with a great discount 25% or 35%. ITINERARY: Distance of 13 km. Total ascent 950 metres. Duration 6+ hours. I will meet with my hiking group at 10:00 at Lisleibane - Carrauntoohil Trail Head & Car Park. After checking gear and supplies we will hit the trail with an easy pace. On our way, perhaps we meet sheep, we watch the birds soar, we smell the gorse flower (May) as we walk into Hag’s Glen for one hour before our first rest at the base of the Hag’s Tooth. We then prepare for the summit and the actual climb, with short scrambles and steep climb we will head via O’Shea's Gully. Setting off, as we rise higher and higher we are greeted with better and better views, we experience more pleasure than pain. When we finally arrive at the summit we are awestruck by the views, the best in Ireland in a clear day. We can see the entire County of Kerry, the Black Valley, Dingle Peninsula, West Cork, even the Atlantic Ocean. Priceless!! With our well deserved rest, refreshed and elated it's time to descend taking our time, and being extra careful we work our way down via Devil’s Ladder, or Zig-Zag path; or Heaven's Gate depending on weather conditions and safety.

I will meet with my hiking group at Kate Kearney's Cottage, in The Gap of Dunloe, at 10:00. Free car park and public toilets. Nearest shop in Beaufort 3 minutes drive. After I have made sure they have the right hiking footwear and warm-comfortable clothing for the walk, we have to drive 5 minutes to Tomies Wood free car park to start out our lovely walk. Please, bring your own transport. We will start our walk at a leisurely pace, and I will make sure that everybody is comfortable and happy. We will stop at regular intervals for people to enjoy the scenery, to take pictures, and have some food and drinks. During the walk I like to talk with my group about issues related to the area such as ancient dwelling places. Itinerary: Purple Mountain stands at 832 metres. The whole walk will be a distance of 13 km, total height gain 900 metres, taking about 5.5 hours to complete the walk. This hike is on open moorland and mountain, with wet ground at some spots, narrow mountain tracks surrounded by high heather and short steep climbs. A good level of fitness is required to complete the moderate-strenuous walk on time, some experience in hill walking is needed. The semi-circular walking route will be contouring near Tomies and Shehy mountains. From the summit of Purple at 832 metres, there are great views of The Gap of Dunloe, MacGillycuddy’s Reeks and Killarney National Park.

This is a more hands on & fun Experience for guests where you will each sand, seal, wax embellish and finish a Custom turned piece to take home with you. We start the Experience with a brief look at some finished pieces. Moving on we will have a look at my dry room store & then we will move through the drying stores & external work areas. Questions are welcome. This should take about 10 mins or so. My aim is to be brief so we can concentrate on the main event, Ornament Making. Please Note: Due to the complexity and skill required to turn one of my Hanging Ornaments, I will turn the decoration from a wood blank into its final shape in two stages as you watch. I will then show you how to: Fully sand the piece yourself Add colour, your choices! Embellish the grain with gold wax, to make it pop! Apply the overcoat of High Gloss Add the hook eye and ribbon, the colour of which you will choose for yourself! Some of these steps are quite difficult so if at any stage if you cannot complete a step I will help you or do it for you. I am very well known for my Hanging Ornament decorations & they have moved on from the earlier natural grain versions to a mixture of colour and natural grain. You can buy some of these Ornaments in the shops but it is far more special to be involved in the making of one yourself! Ability to understand English is a must to enjoy this.

Tomies Wood is the oldest oak forest in Ireland located inside Killarney National Park by the west shore of Lough Leane. I will meet with my hiking group at Kate Kearney's Cottage, free car park with public toilets, in The Gap of Dunloe at 10:30. Please, bring your own transport, after we have to drive 5 minutes to the start point at Tomies Wood. Itinerary: Distance 7 km. Total ascent 300 metres. Duration 3 hours.

The easy route is suitable for moderate fitness level, via a green road, some tracks into the forest, and the lower slopes of Tomies and Shehy mountains. During the walk we will have breaks for some food & drink; to enjoy the scenery with great views inside the wood, Killarney, Ross Castle, etc; to take some pictures; visit O’Sullivan’s Cascade & ancient dwelling places, etc. This hike is a good opportunity to experience mindfulness during some sections of the route. It’s tailored with this aim in mind. When we practice hiking, in a natural way we activate some elements of Mindfulness like: Attention & concentration Deep breathing Feel your body in movement Live the present moment Active meditation, etc. The immediate outcome after the walk is balance in your body energy, your thoughts & feelings.
