Touring South west of Ireland with Chauffeur/Car and driver

The view of Oysterhaven Bay from my Kinsale Carlton hotel room this morning. This is a lovely hotel in a wonderful location.
The Desmond Castle in Kinsale,on the left at the top of this narrow street,was where Charles 11 was crowned when the news came from England that Charles 1 had been beheaded by Cromwell.
When the Lusitania was torpedoed by the Germans in 1915 off the south coast of Ireland, many of the dead were brought ashore here, and some were even buried here. This is the grave of two such men and can be seen in the grounds of St Multose's church in Kinsale.
St Multose's church which dates back to the early 13th century.
The Bronze memorial statue to Annie Moore and her two young brothers which can be seen at the Liner terminal in Cobh. Annie was the first person to be registered on Ellis Island in New York harbour in 1892 after the new centre opened. She was only fifteen. My touring companion Cliff and his wife Kathy and friend Peggy loved Cobh, and are loving Ireland. They are a joy to be with.
The wonderful Cobh Heritage centre which will bring it all back to anybody with a drop of Irish blood in their veins.
The view of mouth of Cork harbour from the grounds of Cobh Cathedral. The Cathedral must have been an unforgettable sight that left a mark forever on the mind of the unfortunate emigrant.
The beautiful sanctuary in Cobh Cathedral which we visited today.
