    BÉICÍN LOOP
    Start Point: Tourist Office, Bantry Square
    Length: 2.5km
    Climb: 30m
    Difficulty: Easy (pavements and paths)
    The walk passes St Brendan’s Church and continues along the northern side of Bantry Harbour, with its flocks of gulls and parties of mute swans. Passing the site of the former railway station, you reach the old railway pier. After the pier, a new promenade runs along the sea front, backed by banks of gorse (furze). Marine animals to look out for include terns, which breed on nearby Horse Island, and harbour seals. The walk loops back to the start point via the streets and back-roads of Bantry, partially following the route of the old railway which existed in Bantry until the 1960s.
