Ballydehob is located approximately halfway along the Sheep's Head peninsula between Durrus and Kilcrohane in County Cork, Ireland. It is a quaint wooded coastal village with a deep and sheltered harbour.
This bustling village, which has a thriving arts scene, is home to many musicians, artists, writers and sculptors. It is packed with cafes and pubs, from which you will hear the strains of traditional Irish folk music in the evenings. It is also host to an annual music festival.
Ballydehob also has lots to offer nature lovers, with Mount Gabriel not far away and a natural estuary teeming with wildfowl and waders, which you can access by walking over the impressive old railway viaduct. There is also an abundance of local walks and cycle routes, from which you can gaze at the serene beauty of Long Island Bay and the many islands.
