Draft West Cork Coast Destination and Experience Development Plan

An intricate series of hidden inlets, coves, headlands and islands set against a backdrop of a rich rural landscape of rolling hills characterises the West Cork Coast. Stretching from Kinsale to Ballydehob, this coastline offers the visitor the opportunity to slow down and take the time to explore the most sheltered part of the entire Wild Atlantic Way.

 

The stories of the region’s maritime heritage are everywhere – from piracy, sackings and battles that shaped Ireland as it is known today, to the resilience of coastal communities today committed to preserving and celebrating this heritage. While this is an area that bears the hallmarks of poignant times, today the communities take great pleasure in offering visitors the opportunity to sample the wholesome flavours of land and sea and to experience the vibrancy of their living culture.
