You can see it from almost everywhere in Hobart. That great grey-blue wall of rock rising behind the city, often with its top lost in cloud. kunanyi / Mount Wellington is the backdrop to the whole town, and the first thing most visitors decide is that they have to get up there. I am Fuad, and across forty-three countries I have stood on a lot of lookouts. The summit...
Some places you remember for a single view. Bruny gave me a dozen. Sea cliffs dropping straight into the Southern Ocean, a thin ribbon of sand with ocean on both sides, an empty beach curving away into low cloud, and a lighthouse balcony with the whole wild south of the island laid out beneath it. I went on a grey, drizzly January day, and it was still one of the...
Brow Head, near Crookhaven in West Cork, is the true southernmost point of mainland Ireland, not Mizen Head, as almost every guide assumes. It’s a wild, unmarked headland reached by a short walk from the coast road, with sweeping Atlantic cliff views, a ruined Napoleonic signal tower, and a remarkable connection to Marconi’s earliest wireless experiments...
A Mizen Peninsula day trip from Cork is one of the best ways to experience West Cork, taking in dramatic Atlantic cliffs, a medieval castle ruin, a hidden beach, Ireland’s true southernmost point, and the famous Mizen Head bridge, all in a single day. This guide lays out the full route from Cork city, with five stops in the order that makes geographical sense...
Mizen Head is the most south-westerly point of mainland Ireland and one of the most dramatic places to visit on the entire Wild Atlantic Way. The big draws are the 1910 arch bridge spanning a churning Atlantic gorge, the cliff walk above 100-metre drops, and the old signal station, now a museum, perched at the very edge of the country. This guide covers the bridge...
Three Castle Head is one of the most extraordinary places in West Cork, and one of the least visited. At the far western tip of the Mizen Peninsula, beyond Crookhaven and beyond the reach of the tour buses, a rough walk over open moorland leads to Dunlough Castle: a 13th-century ruin perched above a dark clifftop lake, with the Atlantic crashing somewhere below. This...
Galley Cove Beach is one of West Cork’s quietest and most rewarding stretches of sand, a small sheltered cove near Crookhaven that most visitors drive straight past. The water is calm and remarkably clear, the crowds are thin even in August, and the headland directly above hides one of the most surprising stories on the whole Mizen Peninsula. Here’s what...
The Seskin viewpoint above Bantry Bay is one of the best free stops on the Wild Atlantic Way, and the perfect way to start a day exploring West Cork. Set on high ground just outside Bantry town, it looks out over a 30-kilometre sweep of bay, scattered islands, and sheep grazing on impossibly green hillsides, with the Caha Mountains rising on the far shore...
The mighty volcano of Santorini erupted around 1600 BC, sinking the centre of the island and giving birth to one of the most spectacular landscapes on earth. White-washed villages cling to the rim of the caldera, blue-domed churches catch the afternoon sun, and the deep, deep blue of the Aegean stretches all the way to the horizon. Santorini is, without exaggeration...
Finding a working travel promo code is harder than it looks. Most coupon sites list codes that expired months ago, or redirect you to a generic homepage with no discount applied. This page is different – I only list codes from platforms I actually use and recommend, and I update it regularly as new offers come through. I run this travel blog through...
