There are plenty of things to do on Sheep’s Head.

Walk the Sheep’s Head Way, winner of a Waterford Crystal Walker Award. Chosen as the best walk in Ireland by Country Walking magazine, this 55 mile long distance walk has a huge variety of terrain all with beautiful views and there are many long and short loop walks available.

There is a magnificent “ring” drive starting outside Bantry along the Goats Path to Kilcrohane, back then through Ahakista (stop off at beautiful Air India Memorial), then onto Durrus. Contrast the sheer cliffs and stark beauty of the north side (the sunsets are incredible) with the more lush south side where the road runs right alongside Dunmanus Bay.

There are many fishing and bathing spots, both sandy and shingly beaches, scattered throughout the peninsula. Tennis courts and childrens’ playgrounds are also available. The following Activity Operators are in the area: Sheep’s Head Sailing, Mathias Kloop, Ahakista.
