West Cork: Hidden Coastal Treasures｜Ireland

An unforgettable day awaits along one of Ireland’s most breathtaking coastal routes. This is West Cork at its most authentic, far beyond the usual tourist path, where winding roads trace the wild Atlantic shoreline and secluded landscapes remain out of reach for larger touring vehicles.

Departing from Cork, we’ll first visit the harbour town of Kinsale, known for its colourful streets and maritime charm, before continuing to the dramatic cliffs of the Old Head of Kinsale, where sweeping ocean views capture the raw beauty of Ireland’s southern coast.

We then travel deeper into West Cork to the evocative ruins of Timoleague Abbey, followed by the golden sands of Red Strand and the surf at Owenahincha Beach, with time for photos and light coastal strolls. We continue to the ancient Drombeg Stone Circle, before finishing in the picturesque village of Glandore, where colourful cottages meet peaceful waters.

One of days many highlights is a carefully selected lunch showcasing the exceptional flavours and culinary delights for which West Cork is renowned. Experience West Cork privately, comfortably, and at a relaxed pace that allows you to take it all in.
