Those are fantastic photos and i love the view back towards Bantry Bay. (The lonely house looks like it might once have been moderately grand don't you think?) Anyway your pics have encouraged me to add walking in the Emerald Isle to my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteThe house does look grand TM. A motor home and follow the discount supermarket signs is the best way to tour Ireland. Or even go walking.
DeleteYou live in a lovely part of the world, I grew up in rural Somerset and loved long walks, we are near the coast here, a water inlet, with nice walks, which we do not use much.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marlene. If you put Somerset in my blog search. You can see where I visited last August.
DeleteNo, that's a good effort for an old codger Dave! Thanks for taking us on this ramble. Much appreciated. I especially liked the photo of the old cairn with fingerpost.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of the stone cairns were built during the English Ordnance surveys in the 18th century YP. I do everything whole hearted or I don't bother.
DeleteMiles and miles of beauty just waiting to be enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to be on your own with nature come here JayCee. I love the Irish countryside. So so beautiful.
DeleteThat seems a very grey and lonely house. Is it lived in. You have a wonderful place to walk. So green, so much flora and Bantry Bay on the horizon. And so much stone too. Lovely
ReplyDeleteYes Linda I picked up on the house and it's solitude. It's a lovely place to walk on a nice day. People use to say to my grandmother that she had a lovely view and she would reply: "The view won't feed you". Thanks.
ReplyDelete61 miles in one week is super! You live in an old and beautiful place. I remember how excited I was to see gorse. I''d only heard about it from WInnie the Pooh, but I recognized it as soon as I saw it, and I was ridiculously pleased to see it.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how superstitions begin? What was it that made people decide that hawthorn in the house meant death.
Hawthorn was said to be the fairy tree Debby. It's blossom was said to smell like the Great Plague. It's said to be a Celtic sacred tree and the people of old treated it so and left it alone. Thanks Debby.
ReplyDeleteI love the house. I could be happy there.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good walk.
In the Gaelic alphabet, in which each letter is associated with a tree, Hawthorn is H for Huath. 18 letters and trees.
It's got character GZ. Thanks for the Gaelic alphabet info.
