The Beara Way

A hike from Glengariff

It all begins and ends in the small Irish village of Glengariff in County Cork. The route then passes through unique landscapes: mountains, bays, beaches, valleys, lakes, forests… It’ll take you right to the heart of the wild Ireland so popular with travel agencies!

The Beara Way boasts some of the most unspoilt spots in the country. The icing on the cake: the tour takes you to some remarkable archaeological sites, including dolmens, alignments and other vestiges of Irish prehistory…

You’ll pass through many charming villages with colourful houses and Irish pubs, such as :

The circuit is of medium difficulty. It requires good hiking equipment (shoes, rucksack, walking stick, etc.) and we recommend that this is not your first trail of this kind.

Don’t hesitate to take the time to stop off each evening in one of the villages along the Beara Way. Taste local dishes (Irish stew, fish and chips, seafood platters) and try their beers…

A beautiful journey on foot, bringing you back to the essential: Ireland in all its splendor.
