Alpaca Trekking Through A Magical Forest
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.

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.

You will see wonderful scenery on the walk.
We will visit the Peat Bog where we cut turf for the fire and see the diversity of plants that grow on the bog. You will sometimes hear the skylark serenading us on our walk. A bird that is rare in most parts of Ireland these days.

If you like this experience but the scheduled time and date does not suit, please message me and we might be able to schedule a time that does.

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!

Guided walk 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.

Placenames & Their Amazing Stories - with Artisan Picnic
+++ THE WORLDS ONLY PLACENAMES TOUR+++ This fascinating tour now INCLUDES a delicious picnic lunch.
It is said the mighty inscribe their toponymy on the landscape. Gaels, Vikings, Normans, Spaniards, Pirates, English and the Irish all controlled this section of coastline at one time or another and they all left their mark in the toponyms and microtoponyms of this beautiful area.
Join us on one of the most beautiful walks in West Cork and create memories you will never forget as you learn about placenames and the amazing stories behind them. Together, we will explore one of the most interesting sections of the Wild Atlantic Way using toponyms - the language of its placenames.
Our hike will take in secluded beaches, ancient holy glens, fairy peaks, hidden trails and rural boreens. All told we will walk about five kilometres. While undulating, this trail is easy and fun for beginners and the pace is easy.
We will finish our tour with a local picnic consisting of artisan foodstuffs while overlooking the site of Ireland's biggest ever naval battle. During our picnic lunch, we will finish with two epic stories based on this location. One story will amaze you, the other story other scandalised Europe and the world in the 17th century.
Dawn Pilgrimage & Swim - with Hot Breakfast
We start with a short dawn hike using a pilgrims path that dates back over 1,500 years to visit the secret holy well known as Tobar Bearcháin. Local swimmers traditionally travelled this path to ask St Bearcháin for protection from the sea.
We then return to the strand and after a brief safety chat, we will swim or dip on the beach using the swim buoy provided. Wetsuits are also available for most sizes.
While this is an exceptionally sheltered bay and we stay close to the shore at all times, no swim buoy = no swim.
We will finish with a hot drink and a light breakfast back on the shore and listen to two amazing stories about the prince of Donegal, Aodh Ruadh Uí Dhomhnaill and the martyr known as Blessed Dominic Collins who are both associated with this tiny beach.
Fun fact: this pilgrimage is 400 years older than the Camino.
