ADRIGOLE |
 |
The first settlement along the coast, about fifteen miles west of Glengarriff, is
ADRIGOLE
, a handful of houses stretching over a couple of miles with no real centre. Just to the west of the junction for the Healy Pass is a shop, a pub and a basic IHH
hostel
Hungry Hill Lodge
(tel 027/60228) with good
camping
- phone ahead to check they are open; three miles to the east you'll find a couple of old-style
B&Bs
:
Bayview Farmhouse
(tel 027/60026; £26-33/¬33.01-41.90) with standard rooms and lovely views of the sea, and the nearby
Beechmount
(closed Nov-Feb; tel 027/60075; £26-33/¬33.01-41.90). It's all wild and wonderful walking country.
Hungry Hill
rises to 2251ft, a good climb rewarded by fabulous views, hidden lakes and waterfalls, while the steep road through the
Healy Pass
leads north to Lauragh, County Kerry, where there is an An Óige
hostel
at Glanmore Lake (closed Oct-Easter; tel 064/83181).
