Inchydoney Herb Garden Takes Shape....
The Inchydoney Kitchen Herb Garden is in progress. An area in front of the pool, beside Dunes Bar & Bistro has been designated.

Kayaking on the Lee
A group of us went out with Jim Kennedy of Atlantic Kayaking on Saturday afternoon. We had a great afternoon â the weather was glorious for November. To change from the seas of West Cork, we decided to brave the city and took to the River Lee in the middle of Cork....
We had to paddle a bit in paces but overall it was heavenly. A bit of exercise but never strenuous. Once when things were very calm a large seal started nosing around us. Really cool.
Great to get out and get a bit of fresh air and â particularly at this time of year.
As usual the gear and guidance were brilliant â so professional and interesting. Fair play to them.
