West Cork Coastline

Quiet roads lined with wild, deeply scented flowers, this tour covers all types of landscape, from rolling green fields to spectacular coastal rides. West Cork is also best known for its colourful villages all of which are brightly painted in a wonderful array of vibrant colours, with wonderful hanging baskets brimming with flowers out the front of every pub and shop. This is the more cosmopolitan part of rural Ireland with many choosing to settle in this idyllic setting. This tour finishes in the colourful town of Kinsale, easily accessible to Cork Airport and city. 

The West Cork Coastline could be considered Ireland’s Riviera. The rolling hills and countryside and the coastline dotted with little towns and villages which are brightly painted make this a very scenic and enjoyable ride. Look out for Gougane Barra a monastic site dating back to the 6th Century. Also, Ahakista and Baltimore are very picturesque harbor towns and Kinsale, just 18 miles from Cork city, a food lovers paradise and the gourmet capital of Ireland.
