The Beara Peninsula is steeped in myths and legends. The mountains and valleys are rich in archaelogical sites such as stone circles, wedge graves and other relics from the past. We have scenic lakes cradled by gorgeous mountains and a rugged coastline with lots of great fishing spots. Linking all this together is the Beara Way walking trail, also a cycling route and the Ring of Beara for those who wish to drive |
