Stunning view on a fabulous day @ mizen Head
One of the last shots of the day. From my day out with West Cork Landscape Photographer Trish Punch. If you want a day out finding all the locations that you do not think you could find yourself I can highly recommend a day out with Trish. Her local knowledge is great and will stand you in good stead for some great shots. #trishpunchphotography

Amazing location and perfect property for a couple. Recommend booking here if you want to log off and relax away from the hustle and bustle! Close to lots of swimming spots and the famous O’Sullivans! Roisin is lovely and is there if you need her but also leaves you to your own devices.
