Schull, on the north side of the Mizen Peninsula, is an archetypal West Cork village — a single main street of pastel-painted buildings sloping down to a natural harbour filled with fishing boats and yachts. Ireland’s first planetarium is on the hill above the village; the surrounding Mizen Peninsula was declared Ireland’s first International Dark-Sky Reserve in 2014, making this one of Europe’s best stargazing spots.
Schull Saturday Country Market (10am-1pm in the pier car park) is a West Cork institution — Gubbeen cheese, Durrus cheese, smoked fish, sourdough bread. Bushe’s Bar on the waterfront is the classic Schull pub. 1 hour 40 min from Cork city.
