Inish Beg Island

Inish Beg is a beautiful West Cork island, just a few kilometres from the thriving market town of Skibbereen and the idyllic little port of Baltimore with its sailing, fishing and diving centres.
The Island of Inish Beg is found in beautiful West Cork. There are three farms on the Island and the Inish Beg Estate, which covers about one third of the island. Your hosts at Inish Beg Estate, Paul and Georgiana Keane, have undertaken a uniquely sympathetic renovation and rejuvenation of this island paradise. The Estate with its beautiful woodlands, parkland, farmland, gardens, foreshore and various activities will enchant all who choose Inish Beg for their luxury self catering holidays in scenic West Cork.
The gardens at Inish Beg Estate are open to the public all year round. Other activities on the Island include horse drawn carriage rides, cookery courses, walks with private access to woodlands and local shoreline, sea kayaking, yachting, scuba diving, whale watching and bird watching.
