Walter loves his native land! His family is steeped in Irish history, an ancestor marrying a Butler daughter from Kilkenny Castle in the 1400’s. Another ancestor married a Browne from Killarney House in 1668, who went on to fight with the Jacobites in The Battle of The Boyne, The Siege of Derry, The Siege of Limerick, and finally was one of the signatories of The Treaty of Limerick. An agricultural science graduate from University College Dublin, and management graduate from Boston College, Walter spent thirty years in farming, food, waste management and renewable energy. Describing himself as ‘a bit of a nationalist’ he is very proud of his heroes who foughtand negotiated for Irish freedom, and is adamant that Ireland now retains its strong identity, culture & heritage and becomes a pioneer as a Nation in renewable energy and food self sufficiency.
More recently Walter qualified in regional and national Irish Tour Guiding, Management, Culture & Heritage and is a Fáilte Ireland approved, registered and insured guide, and is a member of the Approved Tourist Guides of Ireland (ATGI). In 2017 he wrote a history and contemporary guide book ‘Walter’s Way Kinsale’ and is presently writing ‘Walter’s Way Killarney’. He is passionate about his Country, and making each tour an experience of a lifetime for his guests.

It's been 20 years since I lived in Kinsale ( 2001-04 ) and worked as the bartender at An Seanachai ( traditional Irish bar, unfortunatelly for years for sale ). This was the best time of my life. The people, friends, sounds, stories and love that never happens again. Since than I dream of coming back again. At least for one day. To see old places where we spent our evenings, kissed girls, listened to An Seanachai, played football, saved the boat from sinking, saved the bar from the flood, experienced 9/11 while washing dishes at Jim Edwards, saw the sacrifice Kinsale has made to 9/11 at the White house, helped the divers at the Lusitania wreck, sang songs at Tap Tavern, saved ourselves from the world that keeps on running. It's beeen good old times. These days will never be forgotten and I hope that some day I'll have a chance to return.
My husband and I are from the USA and are planning a trip to Ireland. Your video of Kinsale was beautiful. We just loved your spirit and passion for the history of Kinsale. So much so that based on this video we will now be making it a stop for a night or 2 while in Ireland. Thank you for this video. We would love to pay you for a personal tour of Kinsale. Not sure if you do such a thing but we would absolutely love to.
Fantastic bit of history
This guy is an exceptional communicator and his enthusiasm is infectious. Well done and thank you.
Absolutely stunning video, you're a great storyteller! Thank you for making this
Thank you so much!
Absolutely great video well done. I remember kinsale from the 80s. I must go back.
I do love living here,lived here in the 80s for a short time.Promised myself to return from Dublin before I was 50.Back 20 years now.The most special part of Kinsale,are the people.Just amazing.🌹
Loving Kinsale already, good presentation, keep it up.
Beautiful video Walter born and bred in Cork its always a joy to drive or cycle to Kinsale. That garden of remembrance deserves a lot more attention. What a tribute to the heroes of 911 and most people in Cork City don't even know it exists. Have great memories as a child going down to St Multose to view the vaults have some Bullen ancestors. Well done on a very professional presentation highlighting one of Irelands greatest jewels
Well, that was just the most lovely half hour spent. Walter, you are a joy to listen to. You clearly have a passion for what you do. I'll be in Kinsale for just a few hours in a few months, but now I want to come for much longer another time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love.
Kinsale was one of my Fav places you took us! This us a great video and I will be sharing!
Mary's a delight. I love the way she greets the camera man too.
What a marvelous tour! Thank you so much for your warmth, humor, and welcome.
The Irish are peolpe with humor, good storytellers and warm. 😊 🍻
I'm not going to give up my dream of getting there one day soon!thanks,Walter
i am planning an extended trip to ireland from the u.s next year. i already had kinsale on my “must see” list, but this video literally just convinced me to stay more than one night. thanks so much!
I love Kinsale and thought I knew everything but you introduced me to alot I didn't know!
There are so many artists and painters that really need exposure!
The vibrant and strong art created in West Cork is phenomenal as compared to where I live. I took this energy for granted. Perhaps you could include a snippet in your next stop as there is art all over West Cork and Kerry
Where abouts in the world are you now Deirdre?
I was in Kinsale in 2018 with my family and we took the ghost tour which was fantastic! The tour actually began at the Tap Tavern where we had a few pints before it began. And who was behind the counter serving my pints?? None other than Mary Tap!! I didn't know anything about her until watching this video!
Brilliant video! I can't wait to be part of your walking experience of Kinsale as part of the South Ireland tour next summer.
Absolutely beautiful video Walter! Thanks!
I think this is the best video I’m ever seen of Kinsale and I thought I knew most about it, but I was wrong. I just spent 5 weeks in Kinsale and I used to go every summer until the pandemic hit. I stay across from the Spaniard and have a 10 minute walk into town. The Garden of Remembrance makes me cry too and I’ve been there twice. I now have friends there and hope they will visit me in my home in Florida. I’m going back next summer 2024. Thank you so much for such a wonderful tour of Kinsale where I leave a piece of my heart.
Lived in Kinsale as a child ,,holds such special memories ,, the Greyhound bar ,and Peter Barry are important to mention he did so much to make the town what its is on the tourists map 😊 love Kinsale so much ❤
We're headed your way from Canada in 3 weeks. Thank you so much for this! Truly appreciate it.

in the late 90s, on my first trip to Ireland we spent just 1 1/2 days in Kinsale....wish now I know more of the lovely town, would have stayed a week. As someone who worked in Manhattan on 9/11, the Remembrance Garden is especially moving...thanks for the video
Thank you for watching and giving us the lovely feedback Frank! Sure you never know when you make it back next time, first pint is on me!
Your emotions moved me when you showed us the Remembrance Garden. Thank you.
Very informative. Thank you!
Well done! That was lovely
Thank you so much Deirdre, Our first official comment on our new youtube channel, We had so much fun making it, the people of Kinsale are really lovely and some amazing characters! Feel free to subscribe to see when we have episode 2 on another small town somewhere in Ireland! I can't give away where it is as its a huge secret, but as a small hint, it rhymes with... Tillmarney Cough Cough!
