Stone Circle and Dolmen Field Walks

Explore ancient sites in West Cork at your own pace

West Cork is home to some of Ireland's most remarkable archaeological treasures. The Drombeg stone circle, locally known as the Druid's Altar, stands as one of the most impressive megalithic monuments in the country. Built around 3500 years ago, these ancient stones continue to captivate visitors with their mysterious alignments and commanding presence. Nearby, Glandore Harbour offers a completely different experience — a peaceful coastal setting where you can combine gentle walks with stunning sea views. These walks aren't strenuous, which makes them perfect for pensioners and anyone seeking a slower pace. You'll discover Bronze Age remains, learn about local folklore, and connect with landscapes that have remained largely unchanged for millennia. The beauty of exploring these sites is that you're free to spend as much time as you want at each location, stopping to rest whenever you need to.
