Sheep’s Head

Sheep’s Head promises to be one of those places which would blow you away. These places are very common in Ireland, especially in West Cork. This is one of the reasons why I decided to come here. Unfortunately, the weather this way was not coorperating. The constant fog was very persistent that ordinarily I wouldn’t have even considered going out but I was already in the area and it was my last day in Cork so I should at least familiarize myself with these place for a next visit. Sheep’s Head sits at the very end of the Sheep’s Head Peninsula. It is a long finger of land not unlike several places here here in Cork. It is amazing to see how many peninsulas are there in this small area of Cork alone.

Sheep’s Head is one of the smaller ones but it still managed to get itself on the Wild Atlantic Way. I’m sure it would have been great here but the way up the Sheep’s Head viewpoint was shrouded in fog. I had to drive slowly because I couldn’t see the road that much. There were no detours here and you just drive until you can’t drive anymore. Just be careful of the people who would be hiking here. At the end of the road, there is a charming little tea and souvenir shop. I can tell that it still gets it fair share of visitors but probably not today.
