Road Trip ~ West Cork Coast Tour ( Part 2 )

Follow on from Gougane-Barra, we then continued our journey towards our next destination " Galley Head Lighthouse ".  While on the journey we stop by this small town called Skibbereen.

In the mean time while we are having out little break, I've come across this cute little guest house called "Bridge House" which catches my eyes. I think it's quite special and unique. 

They have this little charming quote that hanging in front of the door.. "Enter as Strangers.. Leave as Friends".

We finally arrived on our next destination which is the "Galley Head Lighthouse" which located on the Dundeady headland, over looking two beautiful beaches (Red Strand which is to the West) & (Long Strand to the East).  

The lighthouse have been restored by the Irish Landmark trust for people who wish to stay in the Lightkeeper's House which offer self catering accommodation. The lighthouse has a distinct charm about it, perched on those cliffs overlooking the ocean.

And below is the beautiful breath taking scenery towards the Galley Head Lighthouse with a little company from our little friend ...

Road Trip ~ West Cork Coast Tour ( Part 1 )

It's been a while now since I'm on a road trip around Ireland. Today with the accompany of the amazing weather that we seldom have, we've finally decided to go on the West Cork Coast Tour.


We started our first destination - Gougane-Barra, Ballingeary.

On our arrival at Gougane Barra,  we met the natural beauty of the Gougane Barra Lake and the well known St Finbarr's Oratory which is a small church out in the lake on the little island on it's own.




The scenery in this area is breath taking and it is worth to spend some little time out and enjoy a coffee or even just enjoy the tranquil views of the lake and mountains in this little peaceful valley.

At the back of this valley, there is this little hiking trails which leads to the mountain walk.


We went up to the mountains and here we arrived at the top.. looking down at beautiful nature scenery of Gougane Barra.
