Located approximately halfway along the Sheep's Head peninsula between Durrus and Kilcrohane in County Cork, Ireland. It is a wooded coastal village with a deep and sheltered harbour.
It is perhaps most famous for the Air India crash and there is a memorial as you enter the village. There are two pubs in the village for you to take in the serene waters of Dunmanus Bay and plenty of beautiful local gardens, including The Heron Gallery which also has a coffee shop.
If you are feeling more adventurous, you can take a sailing trip around the small islands that pepper the bay to see if you can spot the local seal population.
