West Cork Winter Walk

Christmas, New Year and Nollaig na mBan have come and gone – and so has the endless rain! Like hibernating bears in spring, we long to get out and stretch our limbs with a good walk. This little slideshow captures a sense of the sights and colours encountered in the last couple of days at Turk Head and on the Fastnet Trails Rossbrin Loop, Part 1. 

I hope this gentle stroll eases your way into the New Year. The Music is As Baile (meaning Away from Home) by Enya, from her Shepherd’s Moon album, used with permission.

The bright pink and orange fruits, by the way, are Spindle berries. Spindle is a native Irish tree.
