8-Day West Cork and Islands Guided Walk
Glengarriff, Ireland
Trip Type: Multi-day Tours
Duration: 8 days
The Beara Peninsula and West Cork is a land rich in history, folklore and archaeology, a virtual open-air museum for the culturally curious. Here you will walk in the footsteps of the ancients where Irelands heritage is brought dramatically to life in imposing megaliths, tombs and standing stones. The offshore islands add another dimension to the beauty of the coastline frequently dotted with castles, forts and watchtowers.
The gaily painted houses in Eyeries and Alllihies contrast starkly to the military heritage of Bere Island, the views of Kenmare Bay are equally as wonderful as the views from the Cable Car ride to Dursey island, this truly is Irelands best kept secret.
