The weekend rolled around and we decided to up-stakes and go exploring again! This time we decided to head out to Bantry, which according to the tour books is the site of a lovely Historical house, built arond 1700, with impressive gardens and a good place for tea with scones! The area, Bantry Bay was also the location of a failed French landing in 1796. A little museum had some parts of one of the scuttled French vessels and an old canon which was recovered in the early 1980's. The gardens were also great and made a good spot for some photos!
After the tour of the Bantry Gardens we headed out to Mizen Head, the most South-Westerly point of Ireland. There was much debate about what it really means to be the "Most South Westerly Point"... Not the most Westerly, not the Most Southerly... Umm... So? Still, the view was impressive and watching the weather roll in was really great!
