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

The Best Walking Tour in West Cork

5.00The major highlight of our trip to Cork has been a walking tour with Conor of Gormú Tours, “Placenames and their Amazing Stories in West Cork.” Conor had his work cut out for him trying to balance both my and my husband’s endless questions, alongside our five year old daughter’s desire to run and play, and he did so beautifully. It was quite literally the perfect day—I learned so much! It’s incredible to see how much passion Conor has for his home and for the Irish language, and to get to benefit from his wealth of knowledge. Our tour ended with the most delicious picnic of local artisanal foods (including strawberries that had been picked off the vine only hours before!), and boiled fruitcake made by Conor’s wife that can only be described as life-alteringly good! We are already looking forward to going on some of Conor’s other tours next time we make the trip to Ireland. I cannot recommend it enough!

5.00Conor is an amazing storyteller! We spent the whole day with him and learned so much. About myths, legends, and history… He’s not the best because of what he tells, but because of how he tells it and how he connects with his audience. I could have stayed listening to him for a whole week!
