The tour start in the colourful bustling town of Kenmare, yet within minutes you are alone in the wild beauty of Beara. You walk past loughs and rivers with views across the fjord-like Kenmare River to the mountains of Iveragh. As you penetrate the peninsula the rugged rocky mountains that make up the spine of Beara vie for your attention with the ever-widening seascapes. The villages of Lauragh, Eyeries and Allihies provide overnight stops. From Allihies you trek through the old copper mines across the mountains to Castletownbere, an attractive fishing port overlooking Bear Island and Bantry Bay. You can take the ferry out to Bear Island and enjoy walking out to the lighthouse and past disused fortifications including the Napoleonic signal tower with great views to the mainland on both sides of Bantry Bay.
