Sheep’s Head beauty

The spectacular views are just one of great things about this Sheep’s Head home, writes Rose Martin

THERE are two sides to the Sheep’s Head peninsula — and it’s not just geography. The southern side with its connection to Durrus and Goleen has heavy throughput from the summer set, walkers and tourists, while the northern side of the peninsula has a quieter, more remote feel.

Not quite night and day, but very different in terms of density and outlook, and if you’re looking for a place in which to disappear — then this is it.
