The R591 road is a regional road in Ireland. It is a road on the Mizen Peninsula in County Cork. [1] [2] Most of the road forms part of the Wild Atlantic Way. [3]

The R591 travels southwest from the N71 near Bantry to the village of Durrus. [1] Durrus is also a gateway to the Sheep's Head Peninsula, the Mizen Peninsula's northern neighbour across Dunmanus Bay. [4] The R591 continues via Toormore and Goleen. The road ends at Crookhaven, a yachting harbour village. Before Crookhaven, a scenic, rugged minor road leads to Mizen Head. [4] The R591 is 36.4 km (22.6 mi) long. [1]
