During our three days in the lovely hamlet of Castletownbere, County Cork, Ireland, we managed to a little gem of an art gallery: the Sarah Walker Gallery.

This is part of our 100 Things in 2017 challenge. Here’s the full list. Click on the photos for a closer look!

It’s not easy to find. You have to walk down past the docks where the fishing boats are tied up, spot the unassuming blue banner, and dare to walk into the seemingly private space. But the reward is worth it.

We liked most of what we saw; it turns out this is exactly our style of art. Becky was quite taken with one painting, but we didn’t have (a) a way of getting it home and (b) €4500.

Highly recommended in the unlikely event you find yourself in Castletownbere.
