Accommodation castletownbere

This is the main western town (but a very small one) of the long and very lovely peninsula of Beara which terminates in Dursey Island away out in the Atlantic. Offshore is Bere Island, where a sailing school is based. Castletownbere has the second largest fishing fleet in Ireland, coming next only to Killybegs in Co Donegal. About 3km west you'll find a signpost to Dunboy Castle. It was the scene of a dramatic episode of the Elizabethan Wars in 1602.
