Baltimore and Skibereen

It was a lovely hot, sunny morning and we had a superb view out to see and down to Kinsale. We paddled at the nearby beach and drove to the pretty fishing village of Union Hall before our furthest destination on the mainland. Baltimore is about as far south and west as you can go as a holiday destination in mainland Ireland. We did just that and walked to the beacon on the headland which looks back down over the popular sailing estuary and Sherkin Island.

Then we retraced our journey as far as Skibereen on the river Ilen, where stopped the night and visited another heritage centre.
