Bantry Mill Wheel

Highlight • Monument

A glimpse into Bantry's past, this impressive mill wheel can be found close to the library and the main street through the town.

Tip by

680 m

Bantry Harbour forms the lively heart of the town, with the wide Bantry Bay lying directly against the quay. You'll see a mix of fishing boats, small yachts, and working harbours here, reminiscent of the time when Bantry had a significant fishing fleet. The bay itself is impressively large — about 35 km long and up to 10 km wide at its mouth — making the view always feel open and spacious. The harbour also tells a piece of history: from the activity around Whiddy Island to the disaster of the oil tanker Betelgeuse in 1979, which permanently marked the area. Today, it's a peaceful, accessible spot to stop for a moment, gaze at the water, and feel the atmosphere of Bantry.

Bantry House & Gardens

Highlight • Historical Site

Bantry House & Gardens is located in the village of the same name on Bantry Bay. Just over a kilometer from the town centre, it is within walking distance of the center of the small port town. The bay itself separates the Beara Peninsula from the Sheep's Head Peninsula. Only 20 kilometers south of Glengarriff and a good 45 minutes from Skibbereen, the place and house are in the western center of West Cork.
