No stone left unturned in this west Cork beauty’s design

MUCH of West Cork’s elemental beauty, sense of history, heritage and wildlife can be appreciated at a quiet cove like Rossbrin — it’s just nicely off the beaten track, between seasonally busy Ballydehob, and stylish Schull, a sailor’s paradise.
Almost a step back in time, this indented, shore-hugging route by Rossbrin, whose cove entrance is ‘pinned’ by the stoic remains of a 14th century castle ruin, is blessed with wild flowers and wild fauna, a haven for birdlife, waders and migration.
