| Around five miles southeast of Skibbereen at the end of the R596
lies CASTLETOWNSEND , a delightful little village worth making a quick
detour to see. The village clings to a steep lane, a tree in the middle
of the road sending what traffic there is gingerly either side, and ends
abruptly at a tiny stone quay. It's an eerie, twee place, and
appropriately enough was once the home of Edith Somerville of Somerville
& Ross fame, authors of the Irish RM stories. Their graves are to be
found in St Barrahane's churchyard. There's little else to see here, but
there is good seafood on the bar menu at Mary Ann's , an attractive
little pub worth seeking out. |
