SAMPLE ITINERARY - KERRY SHORT BREAKDay 1
Your horse riding holiday gets underway as you check-in on Saturday.
Day 2
Riders assemble at the stables on Sunday morning with horses and all luggage ready for transfer (20 min journey).
The day begins with a short trip to the base of Seefinn Mountain, where the ride starts. When horses and riders have been introduced, the ride heads off, and up over the Windy Gap, viewing the splendour of Caragh Lake and the valleys beyond. We continue on to Coomasaharn Lake enclosed by Horseshoe mountain, followed by a scenic ride over an Irish Bog, finishing for the day at stables in Mountain Stage. The overnight stop is in the quaint village of Glenbeigh. (Glenbeigh comes from Gleann Beithe, the Glen of the Birch Trees). Surrounded almost entirely by mountains, Glenbeigh offers a famous friendliness and humour which is nowhere better found than in this tranquil and charming region of Kerry. The beauty of the area is breath-taking, with the River Behy and Rossbeigh Strand close by. History is evident throughout the locality and such a destination as Winns Folly Castle is well worth a visit. Day 3
After breakfast we return to the stables and begin Monday's ride. The day is spent on Rossbeigh beach, galloping along stretches of golden sand and exploring magnificent sand dunes, returning from the beach via the Cliff road. Pass by a tower built more than a century ago, which guide marks for ships entering Castlemaine Harbour. The panorama of Dingle and the Iveragh Penninsulas to the North and South. Lunch on the beach. Afterwards some more galloping, returning from the beach via the Cliff Road.The evening is spent in Glenbeigh village again.
