So I'm in Cork for the weekend and have a car. Anyone have any suggestions on beautiful places to see (and most importantly photography)?

Take a trip out to West Cork, start in Clonakilty. Weather is very much in your favour

Seem to remember it was very colourful. A little like Ballamory (Tobermory I think is the real name) and you could also take in the Titanic museum although not sure there is much to photograph there.

Blarney Castle is close to Cork too.

I lived in Cork for a while and I never did go and kiss the Blarney Stone......it was a day trip for the Americans, they lapped it up.

Cork Jail is interesting. Cobh isn't far. Last port of call for the Titanic.

Lovely area, We rally there once a year. Off over there in about 6 weeks.

If you have the time you could drive to the most westerly point in Ireland to a little village called Dingle. There used to be wild dolphins that you could see in a boat tour if I remember rightly.

If you drive a few mile on from dingle and are prepared to go over a few footpaths then you'll find some totally secluded beaches.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I definitely want to head back as we didn't get to do too much and the weather was more up and down than predicted. We actually found a really nice spot at Galley Head, but the timing wasn't quite right. I haven't had a chance to process my images yet, but hopefully I got a couple of decent ones.
