Thanks again for the gift of eggs, Nora. The rural setting is very peaceful. There is a quiet pub (OâDriscollâs) at Reenascreena, less than half an hourâs walk away - 5 mins by car. If youâre interested in Irish history then thereâs plenty to see - Michael Collinsâ birthplace near Samâs Cross (call in at the manâs former local inn, The Four Alls, afterwards for a pint named after him - âThe Big Fellaâ). The town of Clonakilty is a 15 minute drive away and is where the Michael Collins House Museum is to be found. We had nice meals at OâDonovanâs Hotel on the main street in Clon. Skibbereen Heritage Centre (20 mins or so in the opposite direction) tells the history of The Irish Famine of the 1840s as well as that of nearby Lough Hyne, Irelandâs first marine nature reserve. There are plenty of opportunities to walk in the area if history is not your âthingâ. Thereâs a very relaxed feel to this part of West Cork. People are chatty and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our week at An Grianan. Alun & Ruth
