EVENTS
Tourism is an important way of life for this region. Many facilities encapsulating the traditional spirit of the area are provided for the visitors. Throughout the main season street festivals feature in all main towns and villages, colourful bunting and music abounds. These events are supported by agricultural shows, regattas and social gatherings of a wide and varied nature.
ANCIENT IRELAND
This is magical land, steeped in history and folklore. Some of the best preserved monuments to the past can be found here, from wedge tombs and stone circles, to early Christian influences. The small islands of Sherkin and Cape Clear, closely located off our western tip, are all that is left of Europe’s most westerly mountain ranges. These can be reached by a short ferry ride from Baltimore. Cape Clear, reportedly, was the starting point for St. Keiran (200 or more years before Ireland’s better known Patron Saint).
