Absolutely up there with the most underrated places to visit in Ireland, The Beara Penisula on Ireland’s Southwest coast is a hidden gem you have to know more about. The Ring of Beara drive was one of the best things we did on our recent trip to Ireland’s Southwest, and it so often gets missed on travel itineraries as it gets completely overshadowed by the well-trodden Ring of Kerry. Whilst The Ring of Kerry is certainly incredible, the wild isolation found on The Beara Penisula is unmatched and gives a true taste of wild Ireland.

Lush natural beauty and wild landscapes await those who take the time to embark on this trip.
