The village setting and walks Beara Peninsula, Ring of Beara, County Cork
Glengarriff
(Irish: An Gleann Garbh, meaning 'the rough glen') is almost a one
street village, population of approximately 140 people that lies on the
N71 national secondary road into the Beara Peninsula of County Cork,
Ireland. It is both a local and internationally known as a tourism venue
since Victorian times. There natural attractions from woodland
waking to a boat trip to
Garinish Island.
Glengarriff is situated at the northern head of Glengarriff Bay, a
smaller enclave of Bantry Bay.
Glengarriff is situated about 20 km (~12 miles) west of Bantry, and 30
km (~18 miles) east of Castletownbere on the Beara Peninsula.
Glengarriff is a common stopping-point along the main coast road as well
as north to Kenmare. We always pray for good weather in
Glengarriff, and
generally speaking, we have always been well rewarded! *
