Walk of the Week: Chill out while walking on Kenmare’s wild side

BUNAW PIER-KILMAKILLOGE HARBOUR, BEARA, CO KERRY

ON fine summer days, folk sit at the tables outside Teddy O’Sullivan’s pub at Bunaw Pier and enjoy views of the harbour, boats and mussel lines, the Caha Mountains to the southwest, and Tooth and Tooreennamna mountains opposite. It is a colourful and lively scene.

The R573 Wild Atlantic Way continues past the pierhead. We set off on the road directly opposite the pier, between the car park and the quaint remains of an old cottage.
