Hiking
Knockaphuca Hill (Cnoc an Phúca) has a modest elevation of 778 feet (237 m), yet it provides a distinctive peak with panoramic vistas. If the weather is kind, you will be treated to sweeping views over Dunmanus Bay, the Sheep’s Head Peninsula and maybe even Fastnet Rock in the distance.
The name hints at Irish folklore - a “Púca” is a trickster spirit of Celtic mythology.
