Glengarriff woods are great for a family walk and then back to the village for a good selection of cafes and restaurants. Then a browse in the Irish craft shops. There is a charming foreshore walk and you can get a boat from here over to Garnish Island and to see the seals. Just outside of Glengarriff on the road to Kenmare you will find The Ewe Experience "a wonderful combination of nature, art, natural history, literature & humour"
