Exploring Bere Island - Biking, Walking & Camping

Two nights spent exploring the wonderful Bere Island with fabulous weather. There are many places of interest on Bere Island including - Martello Towers, Ardnakinna Lighthouse, Holy Year Cross, Gallán Standing Stone and Bere Island Heritage and Information Centre to name a few. I brought a bike which helped cover a lot of ground but some places of interest were definitely more accessible by foot so the combination worked well for me. The island is 11km long by 4km wide (and not 10km x 2 km as stated in the video).

There are two separate ferry operators serving the island from Castletownbere and another about 5km outside Castletownbere. The two ferry providers bring you to different parts of the island.
