It’s no wonder they call West Cork “A Place Apart”. Nature sets the pace in this beautiful south-west corner of Ireland – stretching from smart south-coast Kinsale to three rugged westerly peninsulas reaching into the wild Atlantic: Mizen Head, Sheep’s Head and Beara. With so much on offer, we believe you won’t find a better place in Ireland to enjoy your cycling holiday.

West Cork is the place many with busy lifestyles head for – leaving their hurried city lives behind to cycle along the long zig-zagging coastline, or ride through peaceful inland woods and valleys.

Hundreds of inlets, tiny coves, safe harbours and beaches are just right for long active days in the salty air. There are many activities that will tempt you along your way, such as learning to sail, surfing, diving, whale watching, island-hopping, bird spotting, kayaking on a salt-water lake in the moonlight, messing about in boats, or simply park up your bikes and tuck into a delicious fresh crab sandwich on any West Cork quayside.
