I was really struck by the colours in West Cork

the soft palette of the coastline

the ochres of Inchydoney, near Clonakilty:

and Barleycove from above:

the mauve rocks of amazing Dunworley Bay:

all the vast atlantic vistas

and Beara with its flashes of colour:

the ‘Old Forge’ slipway in Allihies is one of the best swim spots in Ireland:

Tralispean too was an epic bright-blue swim:
