Walks, Activities & Sports in Baltimore Ireland:

There are so many lovely walks around Baltimore that we feel it's hardly necessary to tell you where to go. We're sure you'll enjoy it whichever way you head off!
The Baltimore Walking Festival takes place during October every year.

However, just to give you a few ideas, up the hill behind the village are heather-covered slopes with dry stone walls enclosing small fields. From there you get a superb view of Baltimore and the islands. Or head out past the Cove to the Baltimore Beacon (also known as Lot's wife), another good vantage point.

If you like superb views of West Cork, and don't mind a very steep climb, drive to Lough Hyne and climb the hill behind it. Make sure it's a clear day and you won't be disappointed.

Please remember to take all your litter home with you, leave gates as you find them and keep dogs on leads when near cattle, sheep and horses.

Combine your walking with a garden visit or a game of golf or, better still, let the horse do the walking! If Ilen Rovers are playing, cheer them on.
