Map - Mizen Peninsular Co.Cork, Ireland

Our house is indicated by the arrow. The Mizen peninsular is one of the four which stick out from the extreme south west of Ireland. There's no dual carriage ways, motorways, roundabouts, zebra crossings, traffic lights, traffic contraflows (whatever they are) or speed cameras within miles of our house. And certainly no traffic jams!!

There's no light pollution, sound pollution or crime. The sea water is crystal clear.

We are five minutes drive from Schull (www.schull.ie) our local village. Plenty of pubs, restaurants, two supermarkets, galleries, a bank, post office and so on.
Two other larger towns are about 12 and 16 miles away. These are Bantry & Skibbereen with all the usual facilities. Cork City and airport are about 1hr 45minutes away if you don't break the speed limit.

The summers are warm and sunny - around 20 c
The winters are just?...... wintry but without the cold. We get no snow and only a handful of frosty nights during the year. I've never known the temperature to drop below freezing during the day.
