Is it right or left for Gibraltar
What track do I take for Mizen Head?
I’d love to settle down near Ventry Harbour,
(St Brendan’s Voyage)

Mount Brandon is a sacred mountain and there is a pilgrim to its summit each year, which many of the locals do. It is less than 1000m but even though it is a pilgrim walk it is quite a challenge. The walk will take about 4hrs and the views from its summit are breath-taking. From the summit you can see the Wild Atlantic all around you.

From the historic Ross Castle, we board a boat for a magical trip across the lakes of Killarney —gliding between misty mountains and forested islands to reach Lord Brandon’s Cottage, the start of our walk.

From here, we set off on the spectacular trail through the Gap of Dunloe, a glacial valley carved between rugged peaks and flanked by the mighty Purple Mountain. This is Kerry at its most dramatic—wild, windswept, and unforgettable. Along the way, winding roads and peaceful hill trails lead us through a landscape rich in myth and natural beauty. Our walk ends at the charming Kate Kearney’s Cottage, where you can relax with a well-deserved refreshment and soak in the views.

From here, we follow forest trails leading us to the cascading Torc Waterfall, a beautiful 20-metre drop surrounded by lush woodland and the sound of rushing water echoing through the trees.

For those feeling energised, there’s the option to continue your walk to the summit of Torc Mountain. This longer route is well worth the effort, offering panoramic views over Lough Leane, Muckross Lake, and the vast, green landscape of the national park below. Whether you choose the gentle circular walk or the rewarding climb, this is a day to soak in the serenity and splendour of Ireland’s wild beauty at your own pace.

In the afternoon, we return to our accommodation at Hotel Killarney, with time to unwind. Killarney itself is Ireland’s most visited town—and for good reason. Bursting with charm, it offers an array of cosy cafés, lively pubs with traditional Irish music, and boutique shops perfect for a browse.

Today’s journey takes us along Ireland’s legendary Wild Atlantic Way, one of the most scenic coastal routes in the world. We begin by crossing the mouth of the River Shannon at Tarbert—this vast waterway, steeped in myth and named after a Celtic goddess, is Ireland’s longest river. As we glide across on the ferry, keep your eyes peeled for playful dolphins, often spotted leaping through the waters below.

Once we arrive in County Clare, we follow the rugged coastline north, passing through the lively surf town of Lahinch, a favourite destination for beachgoers and wave-chasers alike. We’ll pause at the ancient St. Brigid’s Well, a peaceful spot of pilgrimage, before starting one of the most unforgettable walks in Ireland: the Cliffs of Moher Cliff Walk.

This coastal trail offers jaw-dropping views over the Atlantic Ocean, with the cliffs rising dramatically from the sea below.

Along the way, seabirds soar, waves crash, and the wild, untamed beauty of Ireland’s west coast stretches as far as the eye can see.

This tiny harbour town is a true cultural gem, set within a Gaeltacht area where the Irish language is still spoken daily. After our walk, relax with a hearty meal and enjoy live music sessions featuring some of the finest Irish musicians in the country. It’s the perfect way to end a day filled with nature, history, and unforgettable coastal scenery.

Morning / Afternoon:
Today, we take a well-earned break from walking to explore one of Ireland’s true hidden gems — the breathtaking Aran Islands. From the harbour at Doolin, we’ll catch a ferry across the Atlantic to Inis Mór, the largest of the three islands and a place where time seems to slow down. This rugged island is part of a Gaeltacht region, where the Irish language is alive and spoken daily, adding to the sense of stepping into a different world.

Once ashore, you’ll quickly see why Inis Mór captures the hearts of all who visit. With its winding stone walls, wild coastal views, and peaceful way of life, it feels both ancient and alive. We’ll explore the island by bicycle, taking in the spectacular sights at your own pace. A highlight will be Dún Aonghasa, a prehistoric stone fort perched dramatically on a 300-foot cliff overlooking the Atlantic. Along the way, we’ll stop at secluded beaches, and for those who feel adventurous, there’s the option to take a refreshing dip in the wild Atlantic waters.

To fully connect with the peaceful beauty of the island, we’ll also enjoy a yoga session in a stunning location, surrounded by the natural landscapes that make this island so unique. After stretching and relaxing, we’ll have time to explore local shops for handmade Aran sweaters, intricate jewellery, and other traditional crafts—perfect mementoes of your time on the island.

Evening:
After a day of cycling, yoga, fresh sea air, and unforgettable experiences, we return by ferry to the mainland and make our way back to our accommodation. This evening, you can relax, refresh, and enjoy a delicious meal in one of the local pubs or restaurants nearby—perfectly rounding off a magical day on the edge of the world.

Morning / Afternoon:
As we bid farewell to Doolin and the stunning west of Ireland, we embark on a scenic drive back to Dublin. After a week of invigorating walking, peaceful yoga sessions, and exploring the wild beauty of Ireland’s coastline and countryside, we take one last look at the lush landscapes we’ve come to know so well. Along the way, we’ll pass through picturesque villages, rolling hills, and tranquil lakes, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere of rural Ireland as we head east.

Slan agus beannact to the west for a while.
