Walking Holidays in the West of Ireland

Welcome to my guided walking tours in wonderful, wild, rugged Mayo and Connemara, here in the West of Ireland.

Ours is a magnificent and inspiring land on the western coast of Ireland.

A wonderful area for hiking, this part of Ireland offers spectacular coastlines, great cliff-top trails, expansive blanket bogs, fabulous beaches and blissful offshore islands.

Discover our history, legends and vibrant culture, while getting out and about in the fresh air on a day hike or extended walking holiday.

Walking is at a relaxed pace and will recharge your batteries, while getting out and about for great exercise.

I also bring one annual group each to France (May) and Spain (September), for lovely gentle walking weeks, full of culture, nature, food and wine.

In addition, I lead a birdwatching and wildlife spotting group to stunning National Parks of Poland for a week in May.

Please note that I do not lead groups on mountain hikes.
