About

The Beara Peninsula is peaceful due to its narrow roads that leave the main road and weave their way through a magical backdrop of amazing vistas, heritage sites and brightly painted houses in the villages. Passing through endless panoramas, this tour leads you to scenic stone circles, and atmospheric ruins set in the rural scenery. We follow narrow lanes that meander through the remote valleys, discovering wondrous scenery as we journey beside crystal clear lakes and the rugged coastline.

More info

Arriving on the Beara Peninsula we’ll visit the glaciated valley at Inchiquin to visit the Uragh Stone Circle and view the wonderful waterfall at the back of the valley. We then take a scenic pass on the way to the Glanmore Lake area, with an option to visit Derreen Gardens. We can visit the Ardgroom Stone Circle, located on the hillside, a mile away from the village, before we follow the Ring of Beara around the Kilcatherine area and the colourful villages of Eyeries and Allihies. As well as astounding scenic views, the rugged coastline gives us the photogenic Beara Bowl as well as a number of old engine houses from the mining era to capture. Leaving Allihies by another scenic pass we have the options of visiting Garnish Beach, The Cable Car to Dursey Island and the ruins of Dunboy Castle on our way to the fishing town of Castletown-Bearhaven. The amazing scenery continues with a tour over the Healy Pass and panoramic views of the peninsula on our way back to our meeting point.
