West Cork I: around Toe Head

holiday 2020 was a fortnight in West Cork, south-west Ireland

at the end of summer

the first week we stayed in a cottage on Toe Head

Stacks, Toe Head cliffs

an edge-of-the-world wilderness on the Atlantic

Sea arch at Toe Head

Toe Head is near to the town of Skibbereen but feels apart

nearby are some intriguing places with magical names:

Leap, Roaring Water Bay, Chimney Cove

Barleycove, Crookhaven, Squince

Sherkin, Inchydoney, Mizen

Ballydehob, Ring, Owenahincha

Schull was our least favourite, then Baltimore

bit smug maybe … yacht fans might disagree …
