11:30am
- Mass at Daniel O'Connel Memorial Church
- Cahersiveen's most famous historic figure is undoubtedly Daniel O'Connell, who was born on 6 August 1775. In the centre of Cahersiveen you will find the Daniel O’Connel memorial church. Built between 1888 – 1902 this church is the most dominant feature/landmark in the town. It is one of the few catholic churches in the world dedicated to a lay person (Daniel O’ Connel)
1:00pm
- Coffee after church at Espresso coffee house in town
- Back to the cottage to say hello to our neighbours
3:00pm
- We spend the rest of the day at St. Finans Bay, for A Day at the Beach
- First, coffee at the Driftwood Surf Cafe
- Then we dip our toes in the ocean on the sandy beach
- Marvel at the rock formations and the stunning view of the Skellig Rocks
5:30pm
- Back to the Driftwood for an amazing dinner of local delicacies
- On our drive back to the cottage we make a detour to Cuas Crom Harbour - the harbour we can see from our Kitchen window
- This is one of three sites used for the start of the Trans Atlantic Cable laid in the late 1800's and provided telegraph communication across the ocean to Newfoundland
