Hopes High Seven Heads will be included on Wild Atlantic Way After Courtmacsherry's inclusion
Traders in a West Cork village say their inclusion on the Wild Atlantic Way will secure their future and boost the local economy.
The lifeboat village is to be included on the tourist trail from this month with signposting coming into operation from Timoleague along the R601 to Courtmacsherry.
