Your full day begins with the ride to the West Cork town of Clonakilty. Fondly known as Clon by locals, this charming town is the perfect spot for a cup of coffee followed by independent sightseeing. Back on the coach, you'll travel next to Glengarriff, one of Ireland's oldest tourist destinations before continuing on to the Gougane Barra Hotel for a tasty four-course lunch. Happily fed, you'll rejoin your coach for a visit to Gougane Barra Forest Park. Covering 1,000 acres in the Shehy Mountains, the park is an area of outstanding beauty. Barra Lake is home to a peaceful-looking island; according to tradition, St. Finbarr, Cork's patron saint, built a monastery here in the 6th century. Today, a picturesque chapel, not part of the original monastery, resides on the island, a reminder of its gentle past. Your return journey to Cobh will take you through the picturesque Lee Valley.
