August walk on the lovely
Knockadoon Peninsula in East Cork
 |
The old signal tower over 200 years old.
It was built during the Napoleonic wars in response to the threat of a French invasion. There were 81 such towers with line-of-sight visibility from one to the next. |
 |
| Ballycotton Lighthouse, in the hazy distance. |
 |
| Heading west, ocean to the left, cornfields to the right |
 |
| Weather-beaten. This old post has been here for a long time |
 |
| Painted Lady (afaik) |
 |
| Lots of natural colours |
 |
| Youghal in the distance across the water, with cornfields ripening, above and below |
 |
| The Lobster Pot on Knockadoon. If you are relying on this you need to check opening hours before you go. |
 |
| Rocks, slip and pier |
 |
| Sail away! |
 |
| Youghal in the distance. |
