Introduction

Dundeady Cliff Walk Galley Head West Cork Ireland on the Wild Atlantic Way

Important: some of the path is very close to high and sudden cliff edges which are very dangerous.

This quite short but very scenic walk along the cliffs boasts some spectacular views West over Long Strand and out as far as the “Stags” off Toe Head in the far distance. As you walk higher up along the ever taller cliffs you also get a great view of Galley Head Lighthouse as you turn around.

Watch the sea birds swoop along the sheer cliffs and see if you can spot any of the local seals who pops up, as if curious to see who is visiting. It is an easy walk in terms of ground, but some of the path is very close to high and sudden cliff edges which are very dangerous - so be extremely careful and bring sensible shoes/boots.

This spot is wonderful at Sunset and sometimes creates stunning evening colours on the lighthouse and the cliffs on which it sits.
