THE IDEAL BASE TO DISCOVER THE BEAUTY OF IRELAND

Take the scenic route and discover the true beauty of the area, from the Beara Way with its rugged mountains and its beautiful lakes to the lush valley of Gougane Barra with its forest and the quaint St. Finbar's Church.

The calm waters, (Glengarriff is situated on the Gulf Stream), are ideal for sailing and a boat trip to the miniature temple and splendid grounds of the famous Garnish Island (ILNACULLIN) is a must. And, with activities such as golfing, pony trekking, hill walking and salmon fishing virtually on tap you will not be at a loose end.

Local golf courses are situated at Kenmare, Bantry, and of course at Glengarriff, which every year is the host to the famous Maureen O'Hara Golf Classic.
