The Beara Peninsula is one of Ireland's best-kept secrets — a rugged, sparsely populated finger of land jutting into the Atlantic between Cork and Kerry.

This 8-day self-guided holiday includes detailed route notes, OS maps, GPS tracks, accommodation in local B&Bs and guesthouses, and daily luggage transfers.
