Sheep's Head Peninsula

Sheep’s Head (also called Muntervary) is a beautiful Irish peninsula located near Bantry Bay and Dunmanus Bay (Co. Cork). Highly appreciated by walkers, it is especially known for the wild beauty of its landscapes and its steep cliffs overlooking the ocean.

Visiting Sheep’s Head

A peninsula that lives to the rhythm of the sea

Let’s be clear: the Sheep’s Head Peninsula doesn’t really have tourist attractions, except for the natural beauty of its landscapes and its 3 small villages (Durrus, Ahakista, and Kilcrohane). Walkers warmly recommend the Sheep’s Head Way, which is an 88km long hiking trail. You will then walk along magnificent paths that follow the coast to the tip of the peninsula.

The landscapes are simply fabulous, and you can make some stops in the 3 local villages. Don’t hesitate to settle there: their pubs are quite warm, and their inhabitants very welcoming!
