West Cork - magnificent west cork land and seascapes - 1

I took this photograph on a trip from Clonakilty to Courtmacsherry via the coast road. The church in the picture is at Lislee. It was built for the benefit of the parishioners of Timoleague and funded by a central grant from the British Government some time in the 1800s. It is believed that the church was built on its obscure site because a protestant church could not be built at Timoleague. It was allowed to fall into disuse when many years later the present more convenient church was built in the centre of Timoleague.
