Thursday, June 19
9.30-17.30	Ring of Kerry Cost per person €80 The Ring of Kerry showcases all that Ireland has to offer in terms of tradition and culture. Kerry is often referred to as “the Kingdom” due to its spectacular natural beauty with mountains, lakes and valleys sculpting the countryside. Such beauty has inspired Ireland’s top artists, sculptors, poets and writers, many of whom are considered amongst the most renowned in the world. A number of Archaeological sites are dotted throughout the county, along with the remains of ancient monastic settlements and castles. We stop for lunch in Waterville at “Paddyfrogs” Gourmet Restaurant, the half way mark on our trip. Regarded as one of the finest restaurants on the Ring of Kerry, the menu is a culmination of both Irish and French cuisine; influenced by the meeting of an Irish woman and a French man.

10.00-17.00	Dingle and Slea Head Cost per person €80 Kerry’s coastal erosion has resulted in some of the most dramatic coastline you are likely to experience. Dingle’s beauty has also been documented in many films, the setting for Ryan’s Daughter and, more recently, Far and Away featuring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Dingle is part of the “Gaeltacht”, being one of the few Irish speaking areas remaining in Ireland. Upon reaching Dingle you will have time to explore the local craft shops. Next we visit the Chart House for lunch, renowned for it’s award winning cuisine and located overlooking Dingle Harbour. After lunch, travelling on to Slea Head, the most westerly point in Europe, we visit the Blasket Heritage Centre where your guide will explain all about life on the Blaskets until the last residents abandoned the islands in 1953.
