and narrowing gradually as it
bisects and separates the Beara

mountain ranges. Due to its shape
it is sometimes called the Kenmare

The Kenmare GUIDE
45
In one of the most pristine corners of Europe, least
touched by the hand of man, immersed in myth and
mystery, there is a road discovered by few tourists:
The Ring of Beara
Ireland’s Most Spectacular Drive
An ancient valley, a modern
paradise
Taking its travellers through the scenic vistas of the Healy Pass, The
Wild Atlantic Way, the Sheen Valley, and the authentic towns of the
Beara Peninsula, The Ring of Beara is a glimpse into Ireland at its
most wild.
The driving route itself is a mere 137 kilometres, and can be driven in
two hours if you’ve a mind to, but every mile has something to offer,
with diversions and side roads and hidden gems all over.
Kenmare holds a unique spot on the Ring of Beara, being a link
between the Beara Peninsula and the Iveragh Peninsula to the north,
famed for its Ring of Kerry. To whet your appetite for adventure, we’ve
put together a sample day out on the Ring of Beara:
Kenmare
Start the morning with some traditional Irish scones at one of Kenmare’s many cafes. Explore Reenagross Park and the Kenmare Bay,
with its marine life, kayaking, swimming and sailing. Then start your
drive over the suspension bridge and onto the Beara Peninsula.
Tuosist
There’s a lot to see in this small area. Stop off at the Uragh Stone Circle, see the horsetail waterfalls at Gleninchaquin, or do some fishing
out on the Cloonee Lakes (requires a license, available in Kenmare).
After that, you can take the coast road to Kilmacalogue Harbour, and
stop for a bowl of seafood chowder and maybe a pint.
Lauragh
Glanmore Lake is one of the mot stunning picturesque spots in ireland. Make sure you take some pictures. Then resume your journey to
see the famous Healy Pass, a spectacular winding route to the south
side of Beara.
Ardgroom & Eyeries
After coming down from the top of the Healy Pass drive towards Ardgroom, a traditional village steeped in history. Chat to local artists and
craftspeople and drive towards Eyeries.
46
The Kenmare GUIDE
47
Allihies & Dursey Island
The road here shrinks and twists until you’re at the very edge of the
Peninsula and you come upon the charming village of Allihies. Visit
the old Copper Mines, take some time to enjoy their amazing sandy
beach, or detour towards Dursey Island, where you can take the
Cable Car to explore.
Castletownbere
This area was home to the O’Sullivan Bere clan. Here you will find
the ruins of Dunboy castle and other historical sites as well as the
fishing town of Castletownberehaven. If you have the time, ferries
run over to the hillwalker’s paradise of Bere Island.
Adrigole & Glengarriff
The glens around the village of Adrigole and the town of Glengarriff
are a stunning natural haven. You can take a short ferry across to
the botanical gardens at Garnish Island, with 15 hectares of plants
and architecture to explore.
The Sheen Valley
There’s just one stop left, but its worth it. Head north over the spectacular Caha Pass, through tunnels hand-carved in the days before
heavy machinery.
Stop for some music, dancing, theatre and food at Molly Gallivan’s
or visit the Bonane Heritage Park, and learn more about the ancient
history of the area, before following the Sheen river down to the
Kenmare Bay and back to Kenmare town, where you can enjoy a
fantastic dinner at one of our award-winning restaurants, or some
music at our authentic irish pubs.
Its been a long day, and even with that, you’re
certain to have missed quite a bit of what The Ring
of Beara has to offer. Maybe a second day trip is in
order?

The Ring of Beara is a driving route around the Beara Peninsula,
in the southwest of Ireland. Lesser known to visitors than the Ring of
Kerry to the north, the Ring of Beara is nonetheless filled with vistas and
activites worthy of many days of exploring. Popular attractions include
hillwalking, fishing, kayaking, gastronomic tours, art galleries and more.
