A village on the western flank of Sheep's Head, with a small village centered around the church, a local shop, O'Sullivan's café/restaurant, and a community center. It's located near the coastal road overlooking Dunmanus Bay and serves as a convenient starting point for routes to Sheep's Head Lighthouse and the peninsula's south coast. The surrounding area is green, peaceful, and gently undulating, typical of the western end of Sheep's Head.

Blessington is a bustling market town set above Poulaphouca Reservoir, where the Wicklow Mountains meet the Kildare plains. Its broad main street is lined with cafés, pubs and shops. Just outside town lies Russborough House, a grand Palladian mansion with gardens, art collections, and walking trails, while the lakes themselves are popular for fishing, sailing, and quiet scenic walks.

The route out of the valley is not recommended with heavy equipment, but it is possible, but it is extremely strenuous and only possible if you push the bike. With lighter luggage and the right bike, it is more likely to be possible.

Be sure to use the Greenway instead of the N59 expressway on this section! This is a beautiful stretch through forests and meadows.

Glenveagh National Park is located in the heart of County Donegal, amidst the wild and rugged landscape of the Derryveagh Mountains.

"Where the mountains rise to the oft-changing skies, And the castle stands stately and gray; Where the still lake still lies, beneath that wild, rugged hill, In the vale of lovely Glenveagh..." By: Herbert W.K. Sterritt
