Unexpected Action at The Start of The Wild Atlantic Way
ฝัง

- If you have been following my adventures, you will know how much I dip in and out of the Wild Atlantic Way. With over 2500 km of roads hugging the coastline, passing through many stunning villages and towns, and revealing views upon views as you turn each corner, there really is no other place like it.
For this week's adventure, I decided to head to where it all begins, The Old Head of Kinsale is an impressive headland that juts out from the bottom of Ireland into the Atlantic Ocean. However, it isn’t possible to walk along the stunning coastline or visit the impressive lighthouse at the very end, as years ago the land was sold to a private company, which set up the Old Head Golf Course, and no public access is permitted anymore. Given my vintage, I have been lucky enough to set foot on the land around it and explore this lighthouse many moons ago, and it is one impressive structure. There is now an open day in May every year where you can visit the lighthouse, walk within the walls, and even take the steps up to the light room if you want to experience it up close.
I could see lots of activity of guys in bright orange jackets, it was the coast guard, but what were they up to?

Loved the drone footage ! brilliant action shots of the coast guard it gives a sense of scale and just shows how we are just mere mortals ! loved your use of the sea pinks to give a bit of colour ! indeed a beautiful place !!
Thanks a lot , really appreciate that Pat! Was great to see them in action and thankfully it was training
Absolutely perfect. Beautiful area & so much to see. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic images & drone views
Thanks a million Ann! It’s a fantastic place alright ! Hope alls good in AUS
@@DarrenJSpoonley all good here thanks
A beautiful spot to throw yourself down for the evening Darren, Between the coast guard, the birds, the cliffs, the flowers and the unusually calm Atlantic, there was a lot to take in. Light would have been nice, but at least it wasn’t raining 😬👍🏻
It was packed full of unexpectedness for sure Eddie :-)
Brilliant video from a fantastic location Darren.
Thanks a million Jim ! Delighted you enjoyed it
Absolutely stunning area😍. Hoping to visit part of the Wild Atlantic Way this summer. Thank you as always for teaching and sharing!!
Thanks a lot , really appreciate that Tara! I bet you’ll have a great time 🤩
I originally thought the people in the orange jackets in the background were little mini Darrens?! lol
lol heavens forbid :-)
What a stunning location. I just had to look up the route-hopefully one of these days I can see at least some of the route. Your images of Old Head of Kinsale are spectacular. My favorite is the first one.
You should! You’ve been to many at this stage ( virtually 😀 ) Thanks for watching Delighted you enjoyed it
excellent video darren.
Thank you very much
Smashing video! Loved the drone footage and the images are really great 😀 Wat a stunning location! Cheers
Thanks a million Pal! A great spot to kick off the route for sure
Lovely shot at 17:21 Darren.
Thanks a mill
I made my first trip to Ireland just a few weeks ago. I shot the Northern coast for about a week and then had to race down South to Cork to catch some of my former students who were taking part in an International choral competition. I remember looking at this area on Google Earth and thinking that it had so much potential. Thanks for sharing this video! I'm definitely planning on a return visit when hopefully I'll have more time to explore the Western coast! BTW - I ended up staying pretty close to Red Strand Beach. The area around Galley Head Lighthouse....holy cow! So jealous that you LIVE in Ireland!
Galley head and the surrounding area is stunning for sure ! Hope you enjoyed the overall experience, it seems you did :-) Thanks for watching Delighted you enjoyed it
Cracking Vlog Darren even if Photobombed by the rescue team.
Thank you very much Paul
great video darren, was there myself last week
Thank you very much Paul! It’s a great playground for sure ! Delighted you enjoyed it Thanks for watching
Enjoyed that Darren some lovely shots and footage, what a shame there's no access to get an angle on shooting the lighthouse. Great bonus that the Coastguard turned up shows some great scale! Well done!
Thanks a million, Damien, It's a great spot for sure, I was lucky enough to be able to visit it years ago before it was privatised, a good side to my vintage I guess :-)
@@DarrenJSpoonley Never got there unfortunately...despite my vintage!!! 🙂
Great location and images Darren, thanks for sharing
Thank you very much Ralph! A perfect location to start the WAW adventures
Love it Darren, great vlog 👌 What a place 👌😃
Thanks a million Nora, it really is
