The Bullig Bay Loop is a short, enjoyable walk located by Dunboy Castle, near Castletownbere in West Cork. It offers pleasant views on a mix of forest tracks, quiet country road and farmland.
The trail is in generally good condition but waymarking needs some extra reassurance markers and it is inconsistent in places with differnt coluors being used. The trail surface is solid, except for a very muddy section crossing a farmyard. While the loop is described on the Discover Ireland website in an-clockwise direction it is way marked in a clockwise direction.
There is as yet no map board in place but this is to be erected soon.

3rd time doing this trail. The re-routing (not yet on the guide maps) so as to join the public road takes you up onto higher ground so the views are very good at the slight expense of muddy boots! It's a very friendly trail as families etc just doing the lower sea level section i.e. out and back.
