Welcome to County Cork & Kerry. I recently visited south west Ireland. It was my wife and not myself who selected the holiday destination. But within minutes of arriving I
was completely overwhelmed by the beauty of the scenery and the welcome of the locals. As a tribute to this beautiful part of Ireland, I have put together my
photographs on this website. If you know the area, I hope it brings back fond memories. If you've never visited, I hope these pictures inspire you to visit in the future.
To access the site, either click a location from the map above, select from the index below or take the full tour. Not all sections of the site
can be accessed from the map. Clicking an area of the map where there is no town will open a window displaying ordnance survey map index numbers.
There are photographic pages below featuring the towns of Clonakilty, Skibbereen, Baltimore, Kinsale, Unionhall, Glandore, Cobh, Schull, Castletownshend, Glengarriff, Courtmacsherry as well as features on Mizzen Head (radio station & lighthouse),
Garnish Island, Dursey Island, and the railways of West Cork.
