The tour begins on a narrow county lane, the Atlantic wind pushing flecks of spray across the windscreen as low hills and stone walls slide by. Windows are rolled down to catch the sharp sea-scent and gull calls; the guide eases the vehicle into quiet pull-outs where light spills across peat-covered slopes and glassy lakes.

Bring a spare SD card

Layer for changeable weather
Wind and rain can come in quickly on the peninsula — pack a waterproof shell and insulating mid‑layer.
