Sheep's Head

Sheep's Head, also known as Muntervary (Irish: Rinn Mhuintir Bháire), is the headland at the end of the Sheep's Head peninsula situated between Bantry Bay and Dunmanus Bay in County Cork, Ireland.

The route combines low and rugged hills with coastline and cliffs.

Among those responsible for establishing the Sheep's Head Way were Tom Whitty, an American, local farmer James O’Mahony, and Jim Leonard.

A Sheep's Head Way cycle trail also exists, and begins in Ballylickey, County Cork.

The peninsula was named as a European Destination of Excellence for Sustainable Tourism in 2009.
