A remote, yet beautiful corner of Ireland. This is exactly the kind of wilderness you are seeking if walking the Kerry Way. The Caragh River flows through the valley and brings with it a surprise in the form of the Cooky Monster Café. Food, drink and homemade ice cream in this otherwise isolated spot.

The Bridia Valley is a beautiful and isolated area of Ireland. The valley is a cul-de-sac and the main attraction and reason for people visiting is the Kerry Way. Surprisingly, there is a great café called the Cooky Monster Café, which adjoins the Stepping Stone Guest House. Both are friendly, handy and well worth a visit.
