Make a point of seeing Ferrypoint

YOU drive to the very end of the road, on a spectacular Kinsale headland, to get to Ferrypoint.

When there, it’s either a retreat at the end of the world — or the start of a very private one.

Hundreds of feet above sea level, this home on five acres is an Atlantic-scanning eyrie in the midst of productive tillage land. The sweep of vista includes Nohoval’s cliffs, Oysterhaven bay with the Sovereign rocks as stern sentinels, and then west....well, first there are boats, shipping and oil rigs 25 miles out to sea, and beyond is America.
