The Beara Peninsula is the wildest and most romantic of the peninsulas in
the South West. Start your journey of discovery at Glengarriff to open
out one of the largest of the long peninsulas, which make up the highly
indented coastline of the South West of Ireland.
The peninsula stretches for a distance of 48km (30 miles) from
Glengarriff to Dursey Island and back to Kenmare. We have an unspoilt
and magnificent landscape, which sweeps from the spine of the Caha
hills down to the shores of Bantry Bay and Kenmare Bay. The Beara
Tourism and Development Association has done work over the years to
develop this resource for visitors while still keeping in mind our
obligation to preserve the environment.
Beara has unique distinctions as the northern part of the peninsula
straddles South Kerry and the southern part is firmly rooted in West
Cork.
I hope the information we provide will help you to choose Beara as your
holiday destination. Why should you choose the Beara Peninsula? There
are many reasons, not least of which is the fact that it has one of the
most scenic, unspoilt landscapes in western Europe. The friendliness of
its people will certainly lend itself to making you feel very much at
home.
In recent years we have developed the Beara Way Walking Route, regarded
by many as the best in Ireland, covering 125 miles and taking in some
of the most breathtaking scenery imaginable. The Beara Cycling Route
has also been developed and links up with the Beara - Kilgarvan and
Beara-Gougane Barra Cycling Routes.
Beara has a profusion of archaeological sites, over 600 identified so
far, ranging from wedge graves, stone circles, ring forts, "fulacht
fiadh" and ancient church sites to the tallest ogham stone in the world
(17 ½ feet / 5.3m) situated at Ballycrovane, Eyeries. |
