My friends and I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Bantry Bay.
We stayed in a camper at Eagle Point, Ballylicky, one of the best camping sites in west Cork with excellent facilities and enjoyed every minute of our short break.
Ignoring the weather, we went swimming most mornings, encouraged by the fact that we had a hot shower waiting for us and a hot cuppa too!
.We opted for fun rather than waiting around for sunshine, which comes and goes at leisure.
Camping is a way of life for a lot of people with a love for being outdoors. Sometimes a little hardship offers us a sense of freedom to step away from the normal way of life where clocks dictate what we ought to do and be etc.
A trip to Bantry town is like going to meet new friends and have a ball!
The town is tourist friendly and so there is always a willingness to provide information and opportunities to relax and enjoy oneself.
St. Finbar's Church is a delight to visit and admire the wonderful stained-glass windows of our Celtic saints. Church services are available daily.
Bantry House is a trip into the past, revealing the history of life when once a residence of nobility.
The gardens are wonderfully maintained and a trip through the rose garden fills the senses with delicate perfume.
We enjoyed having a cuppa in the Tea room, filled with thoughts of Agatha Christie stories as our imagination filled in the mysteries.
Another special treat was morning coffee and scones in Seaview Manor House where we were received like royalty.
Ah, Bantry is a great place, blessed with wonderful scenery and people.
