Derrynane Walk
Derrynane Beach
About
This is an easy walk-along beach, a Mass path, and an old wood. It is five miles (eight kilometres) long and takes three hours or less. From the Derrynane House car park, follow the dune path and continue along the beach until you reach the large rocks. Turn left and follow the road until you see a Derrynane Abbey sign. You will be able to see a small island on the left with ruins of a 6th-century abbey. Look for a Mass path sign. Continue on the path until a tarred road. Follow this road until you see a stony path on the right. Take this path and look for a line of poles. Follow the poles down the hill. You will soon enter Derrynane Woods and return to the House.
