Toe Head Clifftop-wandeling in West Cork

When hard history is retold with passion we rise above any burdensome feelings about the past. Instead we feel a renewed sense of our own humanity and purpose. It was an incredible day on Toe head today. The photos speak for themselves and the miles and hours flew as we trotted along and paused to hear stories and tales from the locality. It was a bonus to hear many in Irish as well. Connor and Mick were exemplary guides and amidst the stories of hardship they helped us all DREAM again. As one walker told me over the closing picnic of freshly made shortbread and hot drinks, after a day like today you would believe that Tir na Nog is just over there on the horizon. A great place to meet new friends and discover the secrets that are often under our nose!

This experience was amazing! Conor was so great and informative and answered all of our questions throughout the hike. There were so many gorgeous views and we really appreciated all of the history he provided about the different places we stopped. Next time we’re in Ireland, we will definitely be booking another experience with him. Thank you, Conor!!

If you like coastal walks in the wide open expansive landscape, if you are curious about the local folklore and if you are interested in the local flora and fauna then I highly recommend a walking tour with Gormu in West Cork. It’s magical storytelling at its best. And the homemade oat biscuits and coffee at the end never tasted as good.

Conor is a wonderful storyteller; he makes the stunning Irish countryside come alive with his knowledge of history, folklore and myths. He also knows all the secret places and views which I would never have seen without him. To top it all we finished on a beautiful beach with fresh coffee and home baked cookies accompanied by a story of female power in Cork. I loved it.

We booked a tour with Conor on what ended up being a wet, misty day but it was still absolutely brilliant. Conor is fantastic company and storyteller and we really enjoyed learning about the history and folklore of the area.

We had an amazing experience Conor’s knowledge and storytelling was fantastic. We saw the rugged countryside which came to life through Conor. We had coffee and home made biscuits at the end of our tour on the beach What made it so surreal was our last story of the battle that had occurred there right where we were standing. Coming from Australia, our history doesn’t go back that far. Hearing Conor’s account of what happened locally was amazing and we highly recommend it as a major highlight of our trip. Thanks from Maxine and Gerard Evans

The sisters 3 booked a wonderful hike around Toe Head with story telling by Conor. The views were spectacular, the countryside welcoming, the story telling by Conor was “quintessential Irish lore” with historical accuracy woven in!! The morning hike with the afternoon e-bike tour through the country side and along the waters edge made our day complete. Conor was engaging and answered our rapid fire questions with enthusiasm; demonstrating his deep understanding of the Union Hall area and Ireland. The sisters 3 highly recommend both the TOE HEAD HIKE and THE FORKS, FOCAIL, and, FOLKLORE E-BIKE TOUR if you are looking for a “boots on the ground” Irish experience Terri, Betsy, and Katy aka “the sisters 3”

Conor had a great loop planned out with lots of great stories about the history and folklore along the way. The views were amazing and the company was even better. Highly recommend!

This was truly magical for me and my two kids!! I enjoyed every second. The kids were fascinated and Conner is just a lovely fella. His storytelling is incredible!! Probably the best value experience you’re gonna get in Ireland. The background , the views , the nature and the stories , amazing!! Kids are 8 and 11 year olds.

Amazing experience with Conor visiting the cliffs, true communion with nature, awesome!!! I LOVE Conor and Iove Ireland for ever!!!!!
