Cork and Kerry together make up one of the most spectacular walking regions in Europe, combining the wild Atlantic coastline of the Iveragh and Beara peninsulas with lush river valleys, mountain passes and some of the friendliest towns in Ireland.

Whether you're walking routes of 50 kilometres / 31 miles or multi-day trails stretching well beyond 150 kilometres / 93 miles, the southwest delivers an outstanding blend of natural beauty, rich history and superb local food and drink.

Beyond the big landscapes you'll find picturesque villages where age-old traditions persist and a hospitality culture that makes every evening genuinely enjoyable. Take a look at our self-guided walking holidays in Kerry and Cork and start planning your trip to Ireland's southwest.
