Description
We live on seven acres of mostly woodland in Camp , a beautiful part of Co Kerry Ireland .
We are a couple in our 60’s. Our two daughters live away and our son Eoghan lives ia few kilometres away . He is a young man with ‘complex additional needs’ and lives with full time support.
Where we live is an old house .
We are trying to reclaim our vegetable garden from our accidental rewilding. We also have an polytunnel and two donkeys .
We have recently opened the woodland area and are developing paths through it . It is called Eoghan’s Woods, Coill Eoghain ,and we are hoping to further develop it as an open and inclusive space for the community.
The house is 2km from a very friendly village with some lovely pubs and less than 3km from some lovely beaches . There are lots of opportunities for hillwalking and surfing in the area though transport can be a challenge.
It would be suitable for a couple or someone on their own who is independent and doesn’t mind managing on their own.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travellers could learn lots about Irish rural life . They could also learn both English and Irish.
They could also gain experience of a project of inclusive community living.
Help
All kinds of help would be useful - timber tasks, and helping us with maintenance of the house and garden -both at our own house and at Eoghan's.

Accommodation
We are offering a spare room in our house This is downstairs and has an outside door. It has a double sofa bed. It is beside a bathroom which is shared but not the main bathroom of the house .
We usually share an evening meal but not always and we would expect workaways to be able to cook for themselves from a well stocked kitchen and to share in communal meal preparation.
What else ...
The mountains and the beaches are in walking distance (not the surf ones ) . There is a bus from the village (2km) that goes 6+ times daily to Tralee (30min) or Dingle ( 45min). Some of the roads are good for cycling but in general they are narrow and have little or no provision for cyclists . Dingle is lively town and great to visit with lots of live music and is an hour away by bus.
