Copper Coast and Mahon Falls

Today's adventure took us along the stunning Copper Coast, a stretch of road renowned for its rugged beauty and historical significance in Ireland’s mining heritage. The coastal route, with its dramatic cliffs and panoramic views of the Atlantic, was a feast for the senses.

Our first stop was at Stradbally Cove, where the dogs could barely contain their excitement, dashing across the sand and chasing the waves that gently lapped at the shore. The serenity of the empty beach was a perfect start to the day. Moving on, we visited Ballyvooney Cove, where the striking sea stacks and rocky formations provided a dramatic backdrop for our morning.

At Ballydwan Beach, the vivid blues and greens of the ocean contrasted beautifully with the rugged coastline. The sound of the waves and the salty air was invigorating. Our final beach stop was Bunmahon Beach, where Awen and Nessy continued their frolic, playing joyously around the water's edge, embodying the freedom and spirit of our coastal journey.

In the early afternoon we headed inland to Mahon Falls, an impressive waterfall set in a deep valley within the Comeragh Mountains. The walk to the falls was windy, adding a brisk pace to our stride as we ascended the path that led to the cascade. The sight of the water plummeting down the rugged cliffs into the pool below was mesmerizing. Despite the wind, the walk was invigorating, wrapping us in the raw beauty of Ireland’s natural landscapes.Weiterlesen
