Bull Rock Island, County Cork
Bull Rock Island is roughly 4 kilometers from Dursey Island and 9 kilometers from County Cork's mainland. The 93-meter-high rock is actually a tiny island. It boasts beautiful craggy cliffs, a tunnel through which boats may travel, and a lighthouse. It is recognized as one of the Island's greatest distant attractions and a must-see if you are traveling the Wild Atlantic Way.
The Bull Rock Island is located on a sea transit between the Beara Peninsula's tip and the mouth to the Kenmare River. It is located a few kilometers distant from the more well-known Dursey Island. The Rock is also the Beara Peninsula's most southwesterly point.
With its surface of green sandstone and purple siltstones produced more than 300 million years ago, this island rock appears straight out of a fantasy film set. The Bull Rock is a little older than the Cow Rock, which is an ancient red sandstone that you'll encounter along the road. Like most natural locations in Ireland, this interesting rock island is steeped in legend.
According to legend, Bull Rock's tunnel-like entrance is the 'Gateway to the Underworld.' Bull Rock appears to be rather mysterious, with its stunning, rocky cliffs. Aside from the lighthouse, stone buildings have been erected on the cliffs. These structures provide evidence that humans formerly lived here.
