Sheep's Head walk map & Information Guide


The Sheep's Head Way encompasses the Sheep's Head Peninsula and the Greater Bantry area in West Cork. Starting in the Square,Bantry, it goes out west on the northern (Bantry Bay) side of the peninsula, all the way to Sheep's Head, and then back east to Bantry on the southern side (Dunmanus Bay) of the peninsula via Kilcrohane, Ahakista and Durrus.

During most of the Sheep's Head Way the walker will have spectacular views of Bantry and Dunmanus Bays; sometimes both at the same time. There are many historical and archaeological monuments encountered along the way, and in keeping with the special beauty of the peninsula, only stone and oak waymarkers have been used
