This little town is probably lowest on my go-to list due to lack of good food offers and highest due to the most amazing coastal drive that leads to it if you’re coming from Glangarriff.

We went down to Castletownbere on one of the hottest days I ever experienced in West Cork so I wore an airy, loose dress. I very rarely wear heels when I go to West Cork but I always have a pair of boots with me which works all year round. As we ended up going to a funfair later on the dress proved a little bit short but still manageable.

Tips on Castletownbere:

• There’s only 1 place I trust to eat: Jack Patrick. Not fancy but reliable food, good service and good value
• What to do? walk along the beautiful harbour
• Driving down the above mentioned route? Go down to Seal Harbour, you’ll think you’re in Greece..
