"On an exposed hillside, with fields falling away towards the coast and cattle lowing in the distance, the Drombeg stone circle is superbly atmospheric. Its 17 stones, oriented towards the winter solstice sunset,..."

As is the case with many beaches in West Cork, this place gets busy during the warmer months, and grabbing a place to park can be tricky."
"Dotted with rock pools, the Red Strand is only minutes from the Long Strand and offers a wonderful tranquil spot for the whole family. Click here for google maps directions from Clonakilty."
4.6 (70 ratings)5 (201 ratings)"Barleycove Beach is one of the more popular places for wild camping in Cork (the fact that it’s one of the best beaches in West Cork helps!). It was created in 1755 when 15ft waves from a huge tsunami that originated from an earthquake in Portugal permanently displaced all of the sand, creating the beach. The Blue Flag beach is big enough for long walks or a wee dip in the crystal clear waters."
"Barleycove Beach was created back in 1755 when a Tsunami was recorded near Lisbon, causing 15ft high waves to hit the area where one of the best beaches in West Cork now sits. This sandy beach is nestled between the headlands on the Mizen Peninsula. It’s an ideal beach for families as it’s lifeguarded on weekends during bathing season."

From the Gobelin tapestries in the drawing room to the columned splendour of the library, it conjures up a lost world of aristocratic excess. But the gardens are its greatest glory, with lawns sweeping down towards the sea, and the magnificent Italian garden, with its staircase of 100 steps, at the back, offering spectacular views. The entrance is 1km southwest of the town centre on the N71."
"Bantry House & Gardens, a great opportunity to visit one of Ireland's renowned stately houses with views out over Bantry Bay. Take a tour of this historic house and gardens. Take in the history that will surround you here in West Cork."
