History enthusiasts can also visit the Michael Collins Centre along the way before arriving in Clonakilty, where luggage transfer ensures a smooth and comfortable stay.

Evening accommodation is provided in a welcoming local B&B, with time to unwind and experience Clonakilty’s vibrant culture.

Day two begins with a hearty Irish breakfast and optional exploration of Inchydoney Beach or Clonakilty town before the return cycle to Kinsale. The route follows the scenic Seven Heads Peninsula, with stops at Dunworley Cove, Courtmacsherry for lunch, and Ballinspittle village. Equipped with GPS navigation, maps, and full cycling gear, guests can travel at their own pace while enjoying dramatic coastal cliffs, rural landscapes, and cultural landmarks throughout the journey.
