Splash out on a West Cork labour of love

Tommy Barker says unrivalled scenery enhances this unique home.

WHAT is "a good decent stream" in summer turns into a bit of a torrent in winter - and causes a waterfall on the Owngarrif River near Castletownbere to roar into life.

And, the rocky stream gushing around the wooded knoll here gives this scenic area, a part-time home to writer and movie maker Neil Jordan, its Waterfall name.
