The Beara Way A breathtaking walk round a rich source of historical sites Use our official guide to the Beara Way Walking Route to plan your walking holiday to this hill walkers paradise. The Beara Way Walking Route is a walking circuit of the peninsula following side roads, boreens, bog roads and tracks, taking in all that is special about the place, including a variety of historical sites ranging from Ogham Stones to Wedge Graves, Stone Circles to ancient church sites. While there are a few stretches along the very edge of the Atlantic, one is never very far from the sea, even on the mountainous parts,and the route includes a thrill unique to Beara - a spin over the sea in a tiny cable-car at Dursey Island.
The Beara Way, incorporating part of the O' Sullivan Beara Way, is a long distance walking route around the highly spectacular peninsula with a large concentration of historical and archaeological sites en route. The main towns on the route are Kenmare, Glengarriff and Castletownbere. There are a number of colourful villages in between: Allihies, Ardgroom, Adrigole, and Eyeries. Bere Island and Dursey Island offer excellent walking after a short trip by ferry or cable car.
