Guide Book to the Copper Coast
Sightseeing
The Greenway is a long stretch of old unused railway lines which have been turned into a cycle path. If you feel like a day out cycling this is the perfect place. As you cycle along you get stunning sea views and views of the beautiful Comeragh Mountains.
I painted this view of the Comeragh Mountains. I took this photograph while cycling on the Greenway and wanted to capture it in oils on my return to London.

Absolutely beautiful spot to spend a whole day. This is one of Irelands oldest lighthouses.
