The 40 kilometers long and 4
kilometers wide peninsula enchants with spectacular sandstone hills
shelving into the Bays of the Atlantic Ocean. The recently created Sheep's Head Way is an ideal means to
see the incredible ancient lands. There are also sites and monuments to visit - all of these are easily
accessible from the loop with guided tours offered for most of them. In
2006 Sheep's Head was also designated as a Special Area of Protection
and an exceptional example of
wildlife conservation. In 2009, Sheep's Head got awarded as a Destination of Excellence (EDEN) in the category "Tourism and protected areas".
