Bere Island - Doonbeg Loop
5.3 km3 hrChallengingLoop260 m climb
This is a challenging but rewarding walk on the south side of Bere Island across open mountain. It can be difficult to follow in low cloud and the path is indistinct in places, but in fine weather from the slopes of Knockanallig there are wonderful views of the Sheep's Head and Mizen Peninsulas. There is an option to detour to Dun Beag promontory fort.
