The Dursey Island cable car won't stop for some inclement weather!

Huge congratulations to Zdenka, our March Photo Competition Winner who gets a €100/£80 Hillwalk Tours voucher! 🏆 She beautifully captured the early-spring vistas of the Beara Way during her 5-Day Moderate tour & rode the Dursey Island cable car on the 374m journey over the open sea! #HillwalkTours

Happy Easter! Spring is in the air when lambs leap & daffodils break ground but for us it really comes alive when beautifully beaked Puffins return to breed on islands off our shores. Catch them on Kerry & Clare coasts as well as Rathlin Island. They're coming! 🐦 #HillwalkTours
