-With trips for nearly every sport, I've enclosed options with the best guides and a diverse range of itineraries.
What you'll do: For nearly 30 years, Country Walkers has led guided walking tours globally with 75 intineraries from Sedona, Arizona, to the mountains of Bhutan. On the upcoming women-only Ireland tour (1 of 7 or 8 similar itineraries offered each year), participants walk 4 to 6 miles a day on beginner-to-moderate level terrain. Led by Irish native Michael Miller, an expert in Celtic music who has guided trips for 10 years, and storyteller Pol O'Colmain, walkers traverse the countryside, villages, and Killarney National Park, where you might spot an endangered irish red deer.
In a women-only trip, there's a feeling of the entire group working together, cheering each other on. I've taken a few of these trips with Country Walkers and its like we have permission to be giddy schoolgirls again without being self-conscious.
The Setting: Dingle Peninsula, Ireland's westernmost point, is host to long stretches of coast with flower-laden headlands. You'll visit Muckross Lake, where 2,500-year-old yew trees cover the landscape. Participants split nights between the lush quarters of the former estate of the Earl of Pembroke and benners Hotel, a cozy inn near the town of Dingle's Main Street.
Details: Price for the 7-day walking tour of southwest Ireland is about $3,198, including lodging and most meals, for most updated information please visit the website at www.countrywalkers.com)
