Forget about CAP, take a break from the farmand head to west Cork...

A change is as good as a rest, or so they say

Old Head of Kinsale - just one of the numerous attractions the region has to offer.  Picture: David Creedon/Anzenberger. 

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting deepest West Cork heading to Glengarriff and further west to the Beara peninsula.

To be honest I’m not normally a big fan of West Cork for one overriding reason, the coverage of bracken and mountain heather rather than lush green grass of which I am more au fait causes an innate discomfort in me as a born and bred South Cork farmer.
