The historic village of Baltimore and the enchanting islands of Cape Clear, Sherkin and Heir lie near the very southern tip of Ireland, where the Wild Atlantic Way meets Carbery's Hundred Isles off the beautiful coast of West Cork. Once the haunt of pirates, today the area is a centre for all kinds of waterborne activity. On land too there is plenty to enjoy including a varied calendar of festivals and events, not to mention a wide choice of accommodation and some great places to eat and drink.
