Cork - Sheepshead
The following is an extract from Kevin Corcoran's book West Cork Walks O'Brien Press ISBN 0-86278-928-1
... Standing on the tip of the Sheep's Head, the collision of land and sea is experienced in all its abandoned extremity. One of the South West's characteristic penninsulas, it juts far out into the Atlantic and has all the attributes of an offshore island ... It may not have the high peaks and corried valleys of other penninsulas, but Sheep's head, being West Cork's most isolated penninsula, can boast the purest and wildest coastal scenery in all of the South West ... no gaudy consumerism mars its purity, and no barbed wire fences block the walker's way.
