Add an ExtensionIs there a better way to greet the day? Mist rises over rock-strewn pastures and smoke billows from the chimneys of whitewashed cottages near Killarney. Slinging your daypack over a shoulder, you stride outside onto the country lane. A stream rushes by as you climb the green glacial valley towards the Gap of Dunloe. Come afternoon, you’ll be crossing the arched stone bridge at Lord Brandon’s Cottage for a picnic, then boating over to Ross Castle. But you’re in no hurry. This is a week for savoring tales and walking windswept beaches along the legendary Wild Atlantic Way. Breathe deeply and admire rugged Atlantic waves crashing into weather-beaten cliffs. You’re on a walking tour in Ireland, and taking things slowly is a way of life.

Ireland: Walking The West Country
Our guides, Katrin and Maureen, could not have been more friendly, helpful, and unflappable. The songs they played and sung on the bus were the best "trad" we enjoyed on our vacation. The scenery was, of course, exceptional. Having a jaunty cart available during the Gap of Dunloe hike gave slower walkers a break and added a local dimension that was much appreciated. Denis Kissane's presentation on his farming family's history added the personal Country Walker's touch. I wish his time with us would have been longer. Stopping at Tom Crean's South Pole Pub was a highlight. I'm finishing a…
