Tying together the Ventry and Murieoch rides, we start out from the stables and along the stony beach of Burnham at the western end of Dingle harbour. We then follow part of the Pilgrim's Route over the hills at Cathairbosine and down to Ventry Harbour for a gallop on the beach. A stop for lunch at Paudie O Se's Pub is followed by the afternoon's ride along the beach to Cuan, through bohareens around the western end of Ventry and then across the hills above Smerwick harbour and the Three Sisters, passing the ruined castle at Rahinnane.
The horses stay the night in our field near to Kilmalkadur, whilst guests return to Dingle.
On the second day we ride down to the beach at Murieoch, and then on to Beal Ban beach. We ride in the shadow of the Three Sisters around to Ballyferriter village, where we stop for lunch. The ride home takes us back along the beach at Murieoch, with the option to stop at An Riasc (an ancient monastic site) and the Gallarus Oratory (a 12th Century church) before we cross over the hills back to Dingle, fording the river at Milltown.
