On this special walking tour as part of the Leap Scarecrow Festival, we explore the real story behind Samhain and Halloween. Starting at the bottom of the village our easy pace walking tour finishes with hot chocolate and báirín breac at CECAS Myross Wood House.

Discover the chilling magic of Samhain on our A Scare at Samhain tour, led by your very own Seán na Gealaí guide. Far removed from the commercialised veneer of Halloween, this immersive and fun experience dives deep into the authentic roots and local lore of Samhain. We unearth the tales and traditions surrounding enigmatic creatures like the bean sí, the cailleach and the púca, all set against the backdrop of West Cork's hauntingly beautiful landscape.

This is an area of west Cork where the ancient Mascallacht tradition still survives, a custom that predates the modern 'Trick or Treat' by thousands of years. Experience the real story of Samhain through the eyes of the locals and find yourself forever connected to this mysterious and magical time of year. Book now for an unforgettable afternoon that will enlighten, enchant, and perhaps even send the odd shiver down your spine.
