Based in Schull, West Cork, Barry has been developing his skills as an Irish Landscape Photographer over a period of more than fifty years. As a young man, Barry enjoyed cycling around Ireland, and staying in youth hostels – literally – from Cork to Donegal! The beauty of both the Irish landscape and the many animals that abound around Ireland encouraged him to try his hand at photography.

Here you will find a selection of my Irish landscape and wildlife photography prints for sale. Taken across the island of Ireland, these high quality A3 photography prints are great gifts, souvenirs or artwork for your own home. Free international delivery is included with every order.

Product Details

Heir Island or Hare Island, sometimes called Inishodriscol (Irish: Inis Uí Drisceoil, meaning "Ó Driscoll's island". It has a year-round population of around 25–30 although the island was once inhabited by approximately 400 people. The island is the fourth largest of Carbery's Hundred Isles, after Sherkin Island, Clear Island and Long Island. The McCarthy and O'Neill families are known for living on this island for years.

To make a living on the Island the inhabitants either fished or farmed the land but were often unable to make an adequate living, as a result many of the young people emigrated to England, USA and Australia.

There is a small hamlet on the island; the old main residential area known as Paris which is noted for the bridge, which is only wide enough for one car to pass. One restaurant on the island is noted for its fresh 2catch of the day"; which varies depending on season. Shrimp, lobster, salmon, crab and a variety of local fish are served at the restaurant called, "The Island Cottage". Heir Island is one of seven inhabited West Cork islands. (source: Wikipedia)

Family of friendly, well-nourished donkeys greeted us on arrival at Heir Island, Roaringwater Bay, West Cork. Our border collie “Molly” exchanged pleasantries and tipped noses with Mother Donkey and all then went about their daily chores. Molly later confided to me that they were not the only asses she came across on Heir Island.
