Sheepshead Way Ltd

The Sheeps Head Way, known as Slí Mhuintir Bhaire in Irish, is a long distance walking route of over 150 km encompassing the Sheeps Head Peninsula and the general Bantry area. Whiddy Island, in Bantry Bay, has a Walk and is connected by ferry to the mainland. From Drimoleague to the east, the Mealagh valley and Kealkil, Carriganass Castle with links to the Beara Breifne Way and which leads to Gougane Barra; local communities in these areas have all developed their own walks which are linked with The Sheeps Head Way. The walker can experience spectacular views from various ridges, shoreline, cliff tops, and lake sides. As well as our native wildlife and rare wildflowers and plants, one can often observe dolphins and seals, sometimes whales, at sea. The Walks also include the numerous monastic, archaeological and historical sites in the area where possible. Starting in Bantry the route follows the ridge of Bantry Bay west along the Goats Path Road, all the way to Sheeps Headthe end of the Peninsula. It then turns south and follows the contours of Dunmanus Bay through Kilcrohane, Ahakista and Durrus before returning to Bantry. The total length of the ring is around 180 km and it can be completed in about four days walking. There are several very accessible loop walks of shorter distances, in addition to ten Fáilte Ireland Loop Walks with trail heads at Carriganass, Mealagh, Drimoleague, Bantry, Ahakista, Kilcrohane, the Blackgate and Sheeps Head. These trails are colour coded and afford the self guided walker a wide variety of walking experiences from one to seven hours duration. Consult the guide to the Sheeps Head Way which is available from numerous local outlets and for the Eastern routes, consult the Drimoleague Heritage Walkway booklet.

Skibbereen Heritage Centre

Learn about crucial aspects of West Corks rich heritage. There is nothing else in the history of the Irish people that can be likened to the Great Famine, either for its immediate impact, or its legacy of emigration, cultural loss and decline of the Irish language. The population of Ireland was reduced by approximately 1.5 million during this tragic period and West Cork was one of the worst affected areas in Ireland. The Great Famine Commemoration Exhibition at Skibbereen Heritage Centre offers a comprehensive presentation of this pivotal period of Irish history via primary source accounts, audio-visual presentations, artifacts and display panels. Lough Hyne, Irelands first Marine Nature Reserve, is a salt-water lake just 5km from Skibbereen town. Find out about its history, folklore and unique marine environment at Skibbereen Heritage Centre. Take a trip to the lake afterwards and enjoy the spectacular scenery from the nature trail at Knockomagh Hill. Skibbereen Heritage Centre offers a full genealogy service for the area, with an experienced genealogist available by appointment. The Centre also features an archaeology trail, information on the wildlife of the area, tea and coffee facilities, adjacent car park, full wheelchair access and, most importantly, a warm welcome to all its visitors!
