We are working on our 2022 Tour.  This is tentative.  We should have things by the end of January, a brochure, prices, and taking reservations. 

Kennedy’s Kitchen Wild Atlantic Way

October 3 – 12, 2022   TENTATIVE 

Monday, October 3 – Depart USA

 Tuesday, October 4 – Arrive Dublin and travel to Galway.

1) A tea and scones, light lunch stop. 

2) Travel to Galway via Clonmacnoise  ( Great monastic site )

Wednesday, October 5 – Galway

1) A Burren morning . . . a burren tour out of Kinvara perhaps.   One of the world’s most unique ecological regions, a wet desert.  

2) Doolin, lunch in Doolin or perhaps Lisdoonvaran, and after lunch:  the musician Eoin O’Neill storytelling, the music of county Clare . . . 

3) Cliffs and the back to Galway . . . perhaps by the coast road, if we did not do the coast road on the way down.  

 Thursday, October 6 – Galway (A morning walking tour, afternoon free).  Galway is one of the great cities of Europe to just be in.  There is music everywhere.

An evening traditional session with Michael McGettrick, the fellow who introduced me, joHn, to the Irish whistle

 Friday, October 7 – Galway to Westport  . . .with a drive through Connemara, visit at some sites.  

 1) Connemara, Kylemore Abbey.  This is a thought.  The University of Notre Dame has a program based there, so I’ll be talking to the Irish Studies Program and ND to see if we can do something special.  It’s a remarkable place in a remarkable setting  

2) National Park?  https://www.thewildatlanticway.com/waw/aasleagh-falls/

 Saturday, October 8 – Westport  A great city, lots of music, pubs, and history here.   This is an opprotunity to fall off the tour bus and schedule your own day.  joHn and Chris have a musical friend here so it’s likely that we can set up a gig for ourselves.

1) A guided walking tour of Westport at the Clew Bay Heritage Center

1: CLEW BAY HERITAGE CENTRE 2. THE ROLLING SUN 3: CARROWNALURGAN RINGFORT, CEATHRU NA LORGAN (QUARTER OF THE LOW LONG HILL) 4: AUGHVAL GRAVEYARD AND CHURCHES, AN NUACHONGBHAIL (THE NEW FOUNDATION)

 2) Famine walk  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doolough_Tragedy

3) ) Crough Patrick.    This is a commitment.  Climbing this requires hours, physical condition, and good weather.  

Sunday, October 9 – Westport to Donegal via Achill Island, Sligo and Yeats’ grave

 1) Achilll Island . . . there is a bridge to the island, so we can schedule this without to much concern for the weather.  On most tours, scheduling a ferry to an island can get you stuck on the island for days waiting for good weather.  

2) Yeats grave . . . 

3) Sligo . . . lots of history here, especially musical as the home of the great Michael Coleman.  

4) Evening Music at the Scotsman in Donegal Town, just off the  Diamond. 

Monday, October 10 – Donegal Town.  Donegal Town is smaller than Westport and a lot smaller than Galway.  There 

1) Glencolmcille

2) Killybegs or some smaller village, a pub, perhaps a storytelling session from joHn

3) Slieve Liagh

4) I’m exploring the possibility of a longer day in the bus in order to take in more of the vast beauty of Donegal, some sort of loop back to Donegal Town rather than out and back on the same road . . . though, it’s quite a road and well worth the out and back.  

            Donegal Castle, if we did not take it in on the first day when we arrive in Donegal Town

            Evening music at The Scotsman, just off the Diamond

Tuesday, October 11 – Donegal to Trim via Enniskillen    

We’ve friends in the music in county Meath, so I will look for music happening that evening.

Wednesday, October 12 – Flight from Dublin Return to USA.
