Durrus is a charming village at the head of Dunmanus Bay, nestled between the Sheep’s Head and Mizen Peninsulas in West Cork. Surrounded by rolling green hills and quiet country lanes, it serves as a peaceful gateway to some of Ireland’s most scenic coastal routes.

A small, lively village at the head of Dunmanus Bay and gateway to both Sheep's Head and Mizen. A peaceful atmosphere, traditional pubs, and a beautiful location nestled between green valleys and open coastal scenery.
