Tour Ref WD
These walking and driving tours are perfect for anyone who wants to tour the beautiful countryside in Ireland by car and enjoy some easy scenic walking routes. There are 3 regions to choose from - Kerry, Galway and Wicklow - and guests can either select one or several of these areas. We will arrange your accommodation, book your car hire and provide you with a detailed map and a selection of circular walking notes for your selected region. Each walking route is circular, which means you can park your car and return to it at the end of your walk. You may choose a one week (7 nights) programme combining two separate areas, or a short break (3 or 4 nights) in either Kerry, Galway or Wicklow.
WALKING & DRIVING TOUR
Walking Bases
We have chosen Kerry, Wicklow and Galway as the three walking bases for 2006. We will book the accommodation, car hire and supply you with walking notes and maps (cycling notes in Kerry as well).
Walks
The walks we have chosen are circular of varying lengths (3-8 miles) in some of the most scenic parts of the country. You simply decide how energetic you are feeling, park the car and walk. We have tried to include walks with a difference e.g.: take a walk to the Aran Islands off the coast of Galway and walk to the pre-historic fort D�n Aonghasa.
Cultural Trail
We will highlight the cultural highlights of each area you are in - castles, early Christian sites, music, pubs and restaurants.
Kids Trail
Some of our walks in Kerry are suitable for families with older children who can walk or even cycle along with their parents.
