Hillside Walks

Hillside Walks Walking Guides Sheep's Head Way

Here at Hillside Walks in West Cork we will guide you on a West Cork hill-walking holiday along Ireland’s beautiful Atlantic coastline.

The Sheep’s Head Way walking route is renowned as one of the most spectacular walking routes in Europe. It brings along the coastline of the Sheep’s Head peninsula with Bantry Bay and Dunmanus Bay below you as you hike.

Take a guided walk along the Sheep’s Head Way with Hillside Walks and you’ll find out about the rich history of the Sheep’s Head peninsula as you explore a landscape marked with the traces of Ireland’s rich history. Take in the rugged beauty, and the fine views across the neighbouring West Cork peninsulas and islands. This unspoilt part of Ireland has been recognised as a European Destination of Excellence in recognition of its outstanding natural beauty.

Accommodation Packages

Our tours with experienced walking guide Charlie McCarthy can also be arranged to include accommodation at Seamount Farm B&B. Scenically set with interesting gardens, Seamount Farm B&B is a restored 7th-generation Irish farmhouse with traditional stone farm buildings. It’s the ideal base for a hill walking holiday in Ireland. The house boasts magnificent views overlooking Bantry Bay and across to the Beara peninsula.

If you would like to stay in different B&Bs during your visit, we can save you the worry of sourcing accommodation and arrange this for you. Guided walks can be arranged for all visitors to West Cork.
