Allihiies, Co Cork is one of my favourite places to stay In Ireland, We have spent some time here and I think it’s very likely we will return.
Mountains and setting
.
The town is located at the tip of the Beara peninsular, co cork and is just about as remote a place as you can get. The feeling here is of escape and as such is perfect for a week’s holiday.
The Harbour
.
The copper mines are the main feature of the town and the museum makes an excellent visit during the week we spent some time in here as it has a great coffee shop with a view of the harbour.
.
I will re-visit Allihies over the next weeks with more posts as it is just a wonderful place

I’ve read about, Cork, usually a murder mystery or something trivial, to take my mind off of how scary real life can be. The authors have done well in drawing in my mind what it looks like. They nailed it or I have a good imagination. Thank you for your weekend get away.- amy

Hello Amy
Thanks for your like and comment!
Perfect, thats great to be able to match what you felt it looked like with some images. I love Co Cork very much. Allihies is a one off place anywhere but cork has many fantastic locations to offer!!
You will have to let me know which books!!
