> Oh, on Inishcarra and Gougane Barra,
on Macroom and on Omagh Town
God poured out air of a fragrance rare
that gained them high renown
On King Williamstown He showered sweetness down,
on Lough Neagh and Glanlee and the lot
But those rare perfumes were all well consumed
by the time that he reached Drumsnot
A verse of Drumsnot by the late, great, Brian O’Rourke. Comes into my head now everytime I hear of Gougane Barra!
Got married down there a couple of years ago, and heading down tonight. Place is magical.
It really is a lovely place!
Looks stunning! Cork?
Oh that’s pretty… shades of green are lush
Where is it ?
Gorgeous place. Is there a cross there full of coins?
I visited there in way back 2009. At the time, the public restroom proudly displayed an award for being the top public restroom in Ireland (I think). I believe I’ve got a picture of it.
Edit: I can confirm it was the “Ireland’s Top Toilet Award.” I have a picture but I don’t know how to post it.
Nice photo. Well taken. I like how you framed the house between the two trees.
Often selecttive cropping can make a good photo even better. For example: [https://i.imgur.com/HuULT3J.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/HuULT3J.jpg)
The corrupt ABP overruled the council & granted planning for wind turbines up on the hill, why the fuck do they need to be put there, might aswell throw a few up in Glendalough & beside Newgrange
Lovely place but wouldn’t go back, me and the wife stayed the night and booked a window seat for the view while having dinner. They gave it away to a German family, on top of that all non Irish were giving a free Irish coffee at the bar. Quite a few years ago now.

‘Tis a fine oratory, but sure she’s no barn.
Beautiful place. Took [this](https://i.imgur.com/Cw6thtp.jpg) when I was there last.
Nice spot, nice pic too.
