The surrounding countryside is dotted with small colourful towns and villages,which provide a range of food from irish pub grub to high restaurant quality standard.

There is also a hotel and spa in Incheydoney with an indoor sea water pool and a thalassic health spa.
Bandon and Lisselan offer great golf clubs - Bandon (18 holes) and Lisselan (six holes). Bandon also has fishing on the sea trout and salmon river, day passes are available from Michael O'Reagan. Also Kilcoleman fishery is well worth the day. Contact David Lamb.
