Cuas(Brandon Creek) – Túr Baile Dháith – Ballydavid Cliff Walk Return

Start Point: Cuas/Brandon Creek@ O.S. Map 70 Q 441118

A lovely coastal/cliff linear walk with spectacular views ranging from the Brandon Mountain Range to the Blasket Islands and beyond. Some limited exposure at times but very manageable.

Leaving Cuas we hug the coastline before our only real steep ascent of the day to Binn Bhaile Reo (Beenmore) @ 239m. We then follow the cliff line eastwards to Ballydavid Tower @ 247m. (Built about 1801 as a signal tower against a possible French invasion, Ballydavid Tower had fallen into disuse by the middle of the century and was briefly reoccupied during the First World War. It was a three storey building and the remains of the garrison house as well as the tower itself can still be seen.)

We then retrace our steps back to the cars.
