Cloghane (6km / 4mi)
We chickened out and skipped our walk across Brandon Mt. from Cloghane to Annascaul. Instead we explored the tiny hamlet of Cloghane. On our way down to the beach, we stopped in at a local store/bakery on main street to get picnic fixings. Cloghane was very small, but it was worth an hour or two simply for the old church cemetery and beach. That and the fact that there were very few tourists. Our B&B hostess, Sherry, drove us to Annascaul in the early afternoon and THAT was an adventure. I rode in the backseat of Sherry’s car right beside her cat, who was in a cage and had a cone around his head. Sherry was dropping the cat off at the vet in Dingle because he had an eye injury. That cat was NOT a happy camper on the drive, especially when Sherry whipped around steep cliffs at the speed of lightning.
