The charming village of Ballylickey lies in the heart of Bantry Bay, and is surrounded by the stunning, un-spoilt scenery of West Cork. The village is quiet but caters fabulously for visitors, thanks to the warm welcoming pubs who often have traditional Irish music, song and dance and some superb restaurants, one of which is award winning. Outdoor lovers will be spoilt for choice too, with all sorts of activities on offer, be it walking, fishing, golfing, surfing, kayaking or cycling. Golfers can indulge in the two nearby courses of Glengarriff or Bantry Park, anglers will be delighted with the bay and the two rivers that flow into Ballylickey and walkers will relish the scenic Goats Path and Sheep’s Head Peninsula, which lie just South West of the village. There is also the rugged and natural Beara Peninsula that should be toured first by car to fully appreciate its diversity and beauty. The best beaches are those of Barley Cove and Bantry Beach. Here you’ll find a selection of Ballylickey cottages to rent located just a short distance from the nearest beach that can be booked online with the property manager direct.
