After a great drive over the wild country- granite outcrops,heather hills and clifftop roads with even more death defying sheep, we arrived at gorgeous Bantry Bay coast and drove into Bantry town which has the most superb aspect overlooking the bay.
The B and B was on Goats head path- so we were expecting primitive area- how wrong we were-the best b and b so far- lovely house and excellent view with a great breakfast!Seamount Farm highly recommended should you be planning a trip to the area.
Again charming people gave us directions and the roads wound between hedgerowa full of wildflowers and fuschias.Off along the coast to Kinsale last night. Had to go to a cafe to get them to ring the owner to guide us- a real charmer with a Blarney stone influence. Bit like Fawlty towers but we slept well and had a good shower.
Kinsale is superb with lots of brightly coloured buildings and harbour that was very photogenic at dusk- mirrorlike water with boats of all sorts.Had a lovely salmon dinner at Jimmy Edwards Pub-woodpanelled and atmosheric with decent food.
Arrived in Cork this am to do a bit of genealogy on the Reeves' who allegedly came from here no luck so far.Cork is less pretty than we expected but still interesting.Off to be tourists now.
Weather fine and coolish- grat for travelling,
