Quiet roads lined with wild flowers, this tour covers all type of landscape, from rolling green fields to spectacular coastal rides. West Cork is also best known for its colorful village all of which are brightly painted in a wonderful array of vibrant colors, with wonderful hanging baskets brimming with flowers on the front of every pup and shop.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival in Cork City - As with each of our tours, the week starts with a meeting of the group at 6.30pm, in a hotel close to the center of Cork City.
Day 2: On the banks of the River Lee - We follow a back road along the entire course of the River Lee to our hotel in beautiful Gougane Barra.
Day 3: Sheep's Head Peninsula - We head South to the undiscovered Sheep's Head peninsula where we stay in farmhouses close to the village of Ahakista.
Day 4: The Mizen Peninsula - We cycle into the Mizen Peninsula in the morning and the village of Schull. After lunch you can either cycle the coast road or else take a ferry across Roaringwater Bay (it is usually quite calm!) to visit Sherkin Island and then take a later ferry into the village of Baltimore.
Day 5: Baltimore Village - Baltimore is a lovely village to potter around for the day or else you can take off to explore the nearby islands and countryside.
Day 6: Clonakilty - We cycle on, hugging the West Cork coast, as far as Clonakilty, birthplace of the revolutionary leader Michael Collins.
Day 7: The Town of Kinsale - We hug the coast road all the way to the village of Timoleague for lunch, home to an old Franciscan Friary. In the afternoon we continue on the coast to the historic town of Kinsale where we stay the night.
Day 8: Return to Cork City - Departure Day - In the morning you are free to make your own way back to Cork City which is 18 miles away.
