Beara Peninsula, Ireland 2/3

Drove round the north end tip of the peninsula near Allihies where there were many copper mines. Can see clearly the sedimentary rock layers and in some areas very distorted.




 

 

Took the cable car to Dursey island for a hike, the cable car is of the very old style, scary looking. The island is inhabited by a few sheep farmers, some traditional houses are converted in good style to holiday letting. The hike is fine but not spectacular.
