Description
Walk through the unspoilt countryside of the Sheep’s Head peninsula in West Cork in the southwest of Ireland, between Bantry Bay and Dunmanus Bay. Sheep’s Head comes from the ancient Gaelic, “Muintir Bháire”, the people of Bháire, an ancient tribe. The Sheep’s Head Way is a walking route of beauty and peace taking in amazing seascapes and high cliffs, the remains of an old copper mine, a blowhole, stone circles, standing stones, a Napoleonic signal tower and numerous old churches. The most patient ones may be even rewarded by the sightings of dolphins and whales off the westernmost tip of the headland.
