The Charm of County Cork




On our tour of Ireland
we fell in love with the
charming villages of
County Cork
with their gaily painted houses
and friendly people.

  1. Oh, County Cork looks so pretty Shane. I feel we have to go there when we go to Ireland. I never imagined there would be colour like that, as my image of Irish cottages has been more to the stone variety. Lovely photos. Love P. xx

  4. Oh Shane...thank you for sharing your lovely photos.
    Ireland has a very special place in my he♥rt (Mahoney is my maiden name).

    I bet you had a most wonderful time there.

  7. A couple of your photos, especially the bottom right in the first collage, look like the set of Doc Marten!

  8. So pretty - guess the often damp weather is more palatable with gaily painted cottages to look at! We hope to get there next year - County Kerry (Castleisland) at top of the list where Bob's paternal grandparents hailed from - think that's adjoining Co. Cork.

    Happy week dear Shane.

  12. Ireland is just beautiful...I adored it all....painted houses, flowers, hills, green fields and stone walls. A favorite place.

  13. It looks delightful. I have never been to Ireland. Hopefully I will have a trip back to the U.K. at some stage although the older I get the less likely it seems.

    Thanks for sharing.

  15. Those houses looked so enchanting with all those different colours. I wonder how they chose which colour to paint their houses.

  22. Oh this makes me yearn to return to Ireland. I have been twice, both back in the 80's... much too long ago. Can you tell me the name of the colorful village in the first collage, top left? It looks like a charming spot...

  23. Thank you for the reminders of a beautiful country I was blessed to spend time in during my early 20's (a l-o-n-g time ago!!). I hope you were able to experience the joyful sounds of a musical instrument being played in a remotely located pub, accompanied by hearty singing - just too wonderful to forget.

  26. We didn't get to County Cork last year but I love how refreshing the colours of the houses are - I'd fit right in here and mine would be lavender. :-)
    Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday Shane.

  27. Those houses simply don't look real!

  28. I just love those colorfully painted houses - they would brighten up the landscape in all the rain that I hear falls in Ireland.
