The Béara Peninsula is located in the south west of Ireland – between Bantry Bay and a bay called Kenmare River. It is famous for its scenic landscapes. The tourist trail going round the peninsula is called Ring of Béara. Dursey Island (Baoi Bhéarra) is located at the south western tip of the Béara Peninsula. It is separated from the peninsula by Dursey sound. This sound is spanned by Irelands only cable car. The special form and size of the cabin was chosen to be able to transport cows over the sound.
