We stayed in Kilcrohane for our holiday, so driving to the Sheep’s Head was the first place to explore.
This trail leads all the way to the lighthouse. It is not advisable for small children as there are bogs and free roaming cattle along the way.
Beautiful views and very few hikers.
And yes, we passed some sheep.
During our one-week stay on the Sheep’s Head peninsula, we encountered ten minutes of dark skies and rain. The rest of the time was sunny, windy, and dry, with regular overnight rain though. These standing stones were mentioned in the tour guide book, so we took this little walk from our cottage further up the…

Standing there and overlooking the Bantry Bay (a deep-water gulf extending…
For this summer’s holiday, we had rented a vacation apartment in the fishing village of Maasholm (population: 700) which is located on the peninsula separating the Schlei Bay from the Baltic Sea.
