Overview
Experience the world’s only daily placenames walking tour, an intimate, luxury experience (max 8 guests) along the stunning Wild Atlantic Way. Regularly featured on TV and in the media, this unique tour unlocks the hidden history of Castlehaven through its placenames—revealing Viking traders, Gaelic chieftains, and long-lost ways of life. Discover names like Carrig na Saighneoirí, a tiny headland named after the medieval pilchard fishermen who made the O’Driscolls and O’Donovans as wealthy as European royalty. Explore Beann tSídháin (peak of the faeries ) and An Glaisín Álainn (the beautiful little stream), where the landscape itself tells a story. Your experience includes a gourmet picnic of West Cork cheese, smoked seafood from Union Hall, and Celine’s home baking, making this an unforgettable blend of culture, history, and artisan food. 12:00 Noon Daily | Max 8 Guests | Includes Artisan Picnic
