Pure Cork

Looking to stretch today’s 17 hours of sunshine to the absolute max? 🚗💨

Make tracks for West Cork. Nestled just outside Glandore, Drombeg Stone Circle—locally known as "The Druid’s Altar"—has been the ultimate spot to mark the changing seasons for over 3,000 years.

If you're heading out, here is our itinerary:

☕ Step 1: Fuel up with a coffee and a treat in the colorful streets of Rosscarbery or Glandore.

🌿 Step 2: Take a quiet stroll up to Drombeg to soak in that ancient, midsummer energy.

🏊‍♂️ Step 3: Chase the twilight down to Warren Beach or Long Strand for a late-evening sunset dip.

Nothing beats an endless Irish summer evening. How are you spending the extra daylight?
