Kerry is the jewel in the crown of Ireland – and we are not biased, just because we live here!! KERRY gives you a taste of everything – mountains, bogs, coastline, beaches – you name it, we have it … It is a glorious place and we divide it into the Ring of Kerry, the Dingle Peninsula and North Kerry (part of our Traditional Ireland trip) for the various holidays we offer here.

    In 2005 Bob and I discovered South West Walks Ireland. Wow, what an exciting discovery.
    In 2009 we signed up for our 4th walk. We have walked The Ring of Kerry, The Dingle Peninsula, The Glens of Antrim and The Giant’s Causeway and this year The Mayo Coast and Achill Island. Green, green, green, many shadesabsolutely loved the views everywhere we went.
    We walked on stone paths lined by hedges, passed ruins of famine villages and stone bee huts.
    Walked on long beaches, climbed up mountain paths. The views from the hills we climbed were incredible, it was hard to believe we had walked that far or climbed that high to look down at waves crashing against the cliffs. We enjoyed great accommodations, picnic lunches that we prepared each morning, delicious Irish meals and fun pub experiences.
    South West Walks Ireland owners Linda and John and their guides are well organized, lots of fun and are very knowledgeable about their country and the areas they are guiding. The office staff are very efficient, friendly and helpful.
    Don’t miss an opportunity to explore and enjoy your trip to Ireland with South West Walks.
