Sheep's Head Peninsula
Sheep's Head, also known as Muntervary (Irish: Rinn Mhuintir Bháire), is the headland at the end of the Sheep's Head peninsula - a European Destination of Excellence - situated between Bantry Bay and Dunmanus Bay in County Cork, Ireland.
The peninsula is popular with walkers, and the Sheep's Head Way is an 88 km long-distance trail which follows old tracks and roads around the peninsula from Bantry to the headland and back. The trail is very accessible and is well signposted (see image on right). The route combines low and rugged hills with coastline and cliffs.
The walkway is straightforward and can be walked during any time between April and October. The trail is divided into eight stages—each representing a half-day's walking. Among those responsible for establishing the Sheep's Head Way were Tom Whitty, an American, local farmer James O’Mahony, and Jim Leonard.
The Sheep's Head Way network of trails includes 20 looped walks, and extends eastwards to include Kealkill, Drimoleague and Gougane Barra where it intersects with the Beara-Breifne Way.
A Sheep's Head Way cycle trail also exists, and begins in Ballylickey, County Cork. It extends around the coastline of the Sheep's Head peninsula, and ends in Ballydehob.
The peninsula has three villages, Durrus (six miles from Bantry), Ahakista (twelve miles from Bantry), and Kilcrohane (sixteen miles from Bantry). Durrus has been identified as one of the key staging posts on the Wild Atlantic Way driving route along the Irish coastline and is the home to Durrus Cheese.

Wild Atlantic Way Vlog series - Walking Sheep's Head
Wild Atlantic Way Vlog series - Walking Sheep's Head
In this episode we continue our Road trip along the Wild Atlantic way and explore the Sheeps Head.
Sheep's Head peninsular is towards on the South West corner of Ireland. It is less known by tourists than some of the other areas and as a result is much quieter - especially late in the evening.
On the drive along the peninsular we had more great views but they reached a climax when we arrived at Seefin view point - wow great views. South you can see towards Mizen Head and North you can see the Beara Peninsular .
At the end of Sheeps Head is a small carpark, which we parked up for the night. There is a toilet block and a small cafe which close early evening. Sheep's head is called so for a reason and it was so nice to see sheep around Trudy.
Sheep's head is known for its wonderful walks and so in the evening we decided to walk to the light house at the end of the head. The walk was about 2km and the scenery was stunning so it you do make it to Sheep's Head make sure you have time to walk to the Light House
It was too windy .for the drone this time but the footage was still amazing. We really enjoyed exploring sheep's head and discovering the what seems like a hidden lighthouse.
The Wild Atlantic Way is one of the longest designated coastal road trips in the world at over 2,500 km long. Our road trip of the Wild Atlantic Way started at the most Northern Point of Ireland - Malin Head and finished all the way at the bottom in the town of Kinsale.
The Wild Atlantic way is a road trip of a lifetime and that’s why we just had to do it and produce a travel series of vlogs of our experiences along this magical road. We saw beautiful and dramatic cliffs, stunning beaches, the best sunsets, met lots of lovely people, sung at a shanty festival and saw Ireland at it’s best. If you come to Ireland you must visit the Wild Atlantic Way - even if you can’t do the complete road trip just go and do part of it - absolutely awesome and what a road trip to start off our never ending journey around the Globe.
We hope you enjoy this episode of our Wild Atlantic Way Road Trip Vlog Series.

Discover Ireland - Sheep's Head Peninsula (Eco Eye)
This episode of RTE's Eco Eye TV series was set on the Sheep's Head Peninsula in West Cork, showing the Sheep's Head Way walk around the peninsula. The Sheep's Head Way is a fully-marked 88km walkway; it takes about 5 days to walk the full trail, but there are lots of shorter looped walks along the way. The local farmers and landowners worked together over years as a community initiative to make this walkway happen and have been rewarded by the area being named a European Destination of Excellence.

A little holiday cottage in March 2011. The walking is lovely and it was a peaceful time walking down to the light house at the end of the peninsula. Rugged walking though and if you see it in the sunshine some stunning views!
