Wild Atlantic Way – Cork & Kerry Food Trail
Dingle Peninsula
Fabulous food & alluring accommodation on one of the world’s greatest touring routes.
Enjoy eight days’ self-drive touring on the wonderful Wild Atlantic Way, stopping at comfortable and inviting handpicked hotels, with guided tours of some of Ireland’s most tempting culinary experiences along the way.
Since its official launch in 2014, Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way has swiftly established itself as one of the must-do activities in Europe. With some 2,500 km of superb driving roads, amidst awe-inspiring scenery, it’s easy to see why so many visitors are attracted to completing its length in as short a time as possible. But we like to take things a little easier…
On this carefully crafted holiday, you’ll see arguably the finest section of the Wild Atlantic Way: Co Cork, a brief swish around Cork City itself to Inchydoney Island in wonderful West Cork, around the Southwest coast via Kenmare and the Ring of Kerry to Dingle. On the way, you’ll enjoy a cookery course at one of Ireland’s most acclaimed spots, a food trail in historic Cork City, a tour of Ireland’s foremost black pudding factory, a gin school distillery visit, a roam among the livestock and tasting at a buffalo farm, a unique and fascinating seaweed stroll at Derrynane, and a foodie dawner around Dingle, where artisanal produce of every kind is waiting to be discovered.
This two centre holiday follows the route of the Wild Atlantic Way, starting from County Cork, then round the coast to Kerry.
£2150 per person in April & October, £2250 per person for May, June and September & £2295 per person for July and August.
All prices based on two adults sharing a double or twin room for seven nights – six on a bed and breakfast basis, and one dinner, bed and breakfast, in our hand-picked selection of three- and four-star small hotels and guesthouses. The holiday also includes:
