Private Motor to The Beara Peninsula & West Cork from Kenmare.

The Beara Peninsula is one of my favourite places to visit in Ireland. I got to know the area over the years from leading hiking groups walking the Beara Way route. This private motor tour takes you from Kenmare into the wilds of West Cork and out on the Peninsula visiting one of the most remote and scenically beautiful parts of Ireland. This area is very much 'off the beaten path'. We will journey into Beara through the Caha Pass over the Caha Mountain range and drive through it's iconic manmade hand cut tunnels. We will visit the home of Molly Gallivan in Bonane who supplemented an income for her family by producing and selling poitin which was an illicit liquor. The tour will also take you to The Dzogchen Buddhist Centre, a place of peace and calmness that was donated by a local couple for the lifetime use by the monks that has developed into a special place of prayer and meditation. We will also visit the burial place of The Children of Lir at Allihies which is part of Irish Folklore and Mythology.
