Ireland South
Hillside Walks are located 12km south west of Bantry on the shores of Bantry Bay. The hill walking holidays and B&B are situated in the heart of the Sheep’s Head Peninsula with the Beara and Mizen Peninsulas to the north and south respectively. This beautiful quiet place is a world away from the rat race, and allows you to relax and unwind. It is an ideal base for a walking holiday – the best way to explore one of the least known peninsulas along the Irish coastline and enjoy its tranquillity, beauty and rugged landscape lapped by the Atlantic Ocean. There are few more beautifully located or more delightful walks! Walks maps can be purchased from Hillside Walks.
