- <H3> At Home in West Cork
- <H1> A Watery Tale
- <H6> Wild Atlantic Way signage at Colla Pier, opposite Long Island
- <H6> A more detailed version of this story can be read here
- <H6> Upper picture: Long Island Sound, with the white houses of Long Island itself in the middle distance; Cape Clear is beyond. Lower picture: Fineen O’Driscoll’s castle at Baltimore – Dún na Séad (Fort of the Jewels). The clan chieftain was not at home to give help to the beleagured village when the Barbary pirates arrived because he was rowing across from Long Island with the ill-fated treasure stowed on board!

- <H1> West Cork Finally Gets a History Festival!
- <H6> Tom Barry, bust by Seamus Murphy
- <H6> A Letter of Marque gave an individual permission to be a privateer – a form of legalised piracy
- <H6> War graves such as this one have been springing up all over Cork in the last few years. For most of the 20th century we maintained a form of collective amnesia about the Irish fighting in the First World War – see my piece Outposts of Empire
- <H6> Kilcoe Castle – an impressive example of the Irish Tower House, now magnificently restored by Jeremy Irons
- <H6> Richard Boyle, Great Earl of Cork (1566-1643)
- <H6> Prof Roy Foster, considered by many to be one of Ireland’s greatest contemporary historians
- <H6> The Festival features a screening of the Film Rebel Rossa, made by the great-grandsons of Jeremiah O’Donovan Rossa. A West Cork man, Rossa became famous and infamous for his Fenian activities. See my three-part account of him here.

- <H6> Wavy Bittercress, found along the shore, consorting with thrift. On the right is Common Milkwort :it has a tiny white flower emerging from a deep blue one
- <H6> Stream Water-crowfoot: at first I thought this was a weed choking a stream, but closer inspection revealed these lovely flowers
