The road down the Sheeps Head Peninsula heads from Durrus village along
the coast to the wooded inlet of Ahakista. Here you will see the Air India
Memorial which commemorates the loss of an Air India Air0craft and the
passengers and crew who were killed when the aircraft crashed off the Cork coast
in 1985.
Continue on to Kilcrohane. Beyond the village the road climbs
adventurously to the top of Sheeps Head, on the ridge of which is an old signal
tower. A return is made via Kilcrohane and the north side of the peninsula by
way of the mountain road called the Goat's Path where the wide expanse of Bantry
Bay, Bere Island, Hungry Hill and Sugarloaf Mountain can be viewed.
