Hill Walking Itinerary

Day 1 Arrive in Ireland/Cork and travel Bantry - For Buses to Bantry see Bus Eireann here -

Day 2 - 14km - You will depart from Bantry town o­n the first day of the walk which you will spend admiring some of the magnificent views of Bantry Bay as you progess along the ridge to Glenlough.

Day 3 - 12km - Today amazing scenery also awaits you as the walk takes you towards the highest point of Seefin where you will have a birds eye view of both the Beara peninsula and Dunmanus Bay.

Day 4 - 20km - Going back in time you will see the dwelling houses located at the 19th century copper mines.  This route takes you to a tooreen, via the lighthouse at the end of the peninsula, where rugged cliff edge views await you.

Day 5 - 12km - Starting in Toreen you will pass the ruin of a World War II look out station and signal tower as you ramble along the old military road over Dunmanus Bay.  As the terrain changes to flatter agricultural land, you will progress along the fishermans path to Kilcrohane village.

Day 6 - 16km - Leaving Kilcrohane village you get the chance to walk along the seashore, passing the ruin of an old bardec school and viewing a bronze age stone circle at Akhista. Continuing through the hills and small roads you will come to the end of your walk in Durrus.  While here you can take the opportunity to celebrate what we hope has been an enjoyable walk with a pint of Guinness.

Anybody who wishes to add another day to the walk can do so by departing Durrus and walking back to Bantry.
