Ireland Active Journeys Guided Hiking tour Irish Kerry Walk This holiday, based in the South West of Ireland, in Glenbeigh, Co. Kerry, offers you what may seem to be the impossible ‐ two bases (no packing and unpacking each day) but with a sense of completing a journey. Four legs of the Kerry Way, old coach and butter roads, take you from the Atlantic Ocean, on the shore of Dingle Bay, through the wild valleys of Mid Kerry to the Killarney National Park. The experience of travelling on foot as in days of yore is complemented by superb views, unique flora and fauna and a landscape imbued with folklore. Add ample opportunities to enjoy the craic (the fun) of evenings in an Irish pub and you get a satisfying cultural experience. Glenbeigh (Gleann Beithe – Valley of the Birch trees) is a beautiful vibrant village situated by the Atlantic Ocean, at the foot of the mountains of the Iveragh peninsula, on the Ring of Kerry. Walk on the 6 miles of golden, blue flag beach of Rossbeigh, while breathing in the fresh Atlantic sea air. The town has great pubs and restaurants where you will have the opportunity to hear traditional Irish music or even partake in some dancing! Situated on the Kerry Way walking route you can walk from your guesthouse on two days. Killarney is the second location for this tour, voted as the tidiest town in Ireland, it is the perfect base to explore Kerry.
