The Eastern Trails section includes both linear and loop walks throughout the three valleys to the east of Bantry. Here the Sheep’s Head Way main route connects with the Beara Breifne Way and St Finbarr’s Way.

The walks are listed by area, Drimoleague, Mealagh Valley and Kealkil, so you can choose a route to suit your location.

Some of the trails are still under development and the website may not have full details updated. All the trails that are open to public access are well marked along the trail. Please follow any directions and notices on your route.

News & Updates

The Sheep’s Head Way is closed to the public on Sunday 31st January 2021

As usual each year, the Sheep’s Head Way is closed on 31 January, unless the expressed wishes of the Landowner states otherwise. This has become a customary practice which enables the landowner to grant permission for the public to access their land throughout the remaining year without risk of any public right of way being established. We hope you will respect this necessary inconvenience.

Mount Corrin loop

Due to storm damage, the forestry section of the Mount Corrin loop walk will remain closed until further notice.
