Follow Ireland's most southwesterly harbour from its sheltered quay and pub row out along the wild headland to Brow Head, where an 1804 watch tower and Marconi's pioneering wireless ruins stand above the Atlantic. Along the way, trace centuries of piracy, transatlantic shipping, faith and copper mining packed into one remote corner of west Cork. Looking for things to do in Crookhaven?
