The river beside Sheen Falls Lodge

The river beside Sheen Falls Lodge

Caught halfway between rambling heavens of the Ring of Kerry and the lesser known beauty of the Ring of Beara, Sheen Falls Lodge makes for a perfect walking destination – and has been hand-picked by Joanna as her first ever Walkactive event in Ireland.

Regarded as one of the most influential women in fitness, GMTV and the Guardian’s Health expert, Joanna Hall is credited with designing the 10,000 steps a day pedometer campaign, and the ‘Drop a Dress Size for Life’ plan.

Now, with the Walkactive one-off event at Sheen Falls Lodge - from the 5th to the 7th of October - there is more than the mere chance you may fall in love with what Hippocrates called ‘Man’s best medicine’.

As a Privately owned, Relais & Châteaux country house hotel, Sheen Falls Lodge makes for Ireland’s definitive luxury walking break treat; with three hundred acres of waterfall dappled woodlands and roaming wildlife to explore with Joanna before collapsing into the veritable lap of luxury of deluxe suites and award winning gastronomy.

Rambling renaissance guru Joanna will help you work on your walking and fitness techniques through inspiring seminars and daily dedicated walking sessions across the wildly pretty wonderland. With individual tailored consultations and workshops led by Joanna and her Walkactive colleague Alisha Twisk to boot, walking becomes a veritable art form.

Plus, over the two day course at Sheen Falls Lodge, discover the fat burning, self-esteem boosting and posture improving benefits of a good walk, and then enjoy the Yon Ka (beloved of Kylie, Jude Law and Angelina Jolie, no less…) award winning treatments after all your hard work...

The ‘Walk Active’ package includes: 2 nights’ accommodation in a Deluxe room, with full hearty Irish breakfasts, light gourmet lunches, a welcome drinks reception with buffet supper, and one dinner in the award winning restaurant. One 30 minute beauty or pampering treat, and 10% off additional indulgences. Full use of Sheen Falls Lodge’s leisure facilities
