Molly Gallivan's Cottage & Traditional Farm

The cottage and farm at Molly Gallivans is over 200 years old and remains a family run visitors center. A visit can range from a quick stop to see the old cottage and gift shop to a full guided tour which includes traditional Irish baking, turf cutting and tours of the old Irish relics in the area. The Caha Pass, which links Glengarriff with Molly Cottage and Kenmare, is the final stretch of the Ring of Beara and it’s safe to say the best is saved to last. This epic road is one of the most picturesque in Ireland. What makes the Caha Pass truly unique is the combination of the winding mountaintop road, the panoramic views of the countryside and the incredible stone tunnels that the road carves through. There are too many stunning viewing spots to list for this road so just allow lots of time for stopping! The tunnels start at the Cork-Kerry border and continue for a few kilometres.

Glengariff Woods

The name Glengarriff is derived from the Irish Gleann Gairbh, which translates as the rough or rugged glen.

The River Walk Distance: 1km Duration: 25 minutes :Standard: easy Terrain: footpath. This is a lovely introduction to Glengarriff Nature Reserve, taking you on a gentle wander through old oak woods and along the banks of the Glengarriff River.Take time to look around and see the ferns, mosses and lichens growing on the old oak trees – this lush growth is typical of the oceanic woodlands in the south-west of Ireland, where the gulf stream ensures the climate is warm and wet. Beneath the oak canopy, the most common tree is the evergreen Holly with its prickly leaves and red berries. Looking down into the river you may be lucky to spot a Freshwater Pearl Mussel.

Allihies Copper Mine Museum

The winding drive from Eyeries to Allihies is breathtaking. Probably one of the most beautiful stretches of road in the country. The narrow coastal road winds along the headland before crossing Cod’s head and along the coast to Allihies. Almost every inch of this drive is picture perfect. The raw beauty of the Wild Atlantic Way is showcased along this short drive and, while there are no sandy beaches, there are plenty of places to stop and take in the views.The small town of Allihies was home to a vibrant copper mining community during the 18th and 19th centuries. It is is still possible to see some of the remaining engine towers that were used in the mining process. There is a stop on the road from Eyeries to Allihies at one of these mines. Many who left the area after the mining industry collapsed moved to Montana in the USA .There is a small museum in Allihies dedicated to the copper mines which gives visitors an insight into the area at that time. Entrance fee: Adult: 6 Child : 3
