    Day Fifteen - Cork area

    As we had done a lot of west coast scenic drives we left early (7am) for a trip along the south. There was less large scenery but it was very beautiful. Saw the Drombeg ring of stones on the road to Skibbereen. They date back to 900BC. They are on private farmland. The farmer allows access to the public. There is a car park and an access gate. Access is free. The sign on the gate asks visitors to respect the fact that it is private land.
    Lunch at an alternative cafe in Ballydehob.
    Went to Mizen Head then back to the hotel early to get ready for Riverdance. Upgraded to King room as our shower wasn't working. Dinner at the hotel restaurant overlooking Cork.
