About this deal

My friends and I often visit the islands in the shoulder months, so the force of the elements was no surprise. We roamed the beaches and the local pub ( of course) with carefree curiosity. It’s said that the city of Cork grew from here. Another legend explains how St. Finbarr banished a great serpent named Lú from the Gougane Barra Lake. Apparently Lú created the River Lee as it escaped his wrath. The Gougane Barra Church

You’ll find the brilliant Gougane Barra in Cork, in the South West of Ireland, not far from the Beara Peninsula and a stone’s throw (54-minute drive) from Kenmare in Kerry. 2. It all started with St. Finbarr In addition motorhomes, campervansand those vehicles towing a caravan will not be able to joinstandby queues at portson the following routes. Find out more aboutchanges that have been madeto the motorhomes, campervans and caravans standby process. I’ve experienced all weathers on Barra. The island seems to have its own microclimate, so the weather forecast can literally be thrown to the wind. The Slí na Sléibhe trail is around 2.4 km in length and it follows a loop. Unlike the other Gougane Barra Walks, this trail begins and ends in the Upper car park. In addition, the castle courtyard has a rough gravel surface and the castle interior has narrow flights of stairs, which means it’s not really suitable for people with mobility issues.If you’d rather treat yourself to something sugary then you might like to pop into the Hebridean Toffee Factory which sells mouth-watering gift boxes of Scottish tablet. Us Scottish folk have a tendency to throw around the word ‘wee’, even in instances where something isn’t all that small. I can assure you however that Barra definitely falls into the ‘wee’ category. If the castle doesn’t float your boat then you might prefer taking a boat tour to the wild and windy islands of Sandray, Pabbay and Mingulay. These tiny isles are a haven for wildlife and though they’re desolate they’re fascinating places to visit. Barra Distillery is the only distillery on the Isle of Barra and is the most westerly distillery in Scotland.
