I am often amazed during trips to West Cork on sunny days at just how sub-tropical the region can feel. I took a trip down to Bandon, on through Clonakilty and down to Castlefreke (odd name isn’t it?), Rathbarry, and the several beaches between Clon and Roscarberry. I ended up at the Church of Ireland church there, followed by a trip back to Clon along a different road, where I happened upon a rather nice field of rape seed. I made a quick trip over to Cobh to get some evening shots, and then home.
Here are some of the shots, with the full Flickr set here.

Terrific photos, Gavin. Reminded me of summer holidays on the (east) Cork coast. Weather’s been fantastic recently, hasn’t it?
Gavin, you should try heading north west and over the Conor pass. It’s much more of a stretch I admit but once you get to Bunaw and the like it’s worth the journey.
