A lovely village - I hope it still has the same character. I even liked the chap driving around the corner with his door open.

No. It's overrun with loud-mouthed arrogant English and Germans who have no respect for Irish culture.

I was there just over a month ago and yes, it does still have the same character, a couple more cafes and pubs and a statue but the old buildings and signs are still there. The victualer is my favorite one.

Still looks good, Ballydehob. The Cortina going round the bend @ 2:10 was very entertaining :-)
@thomasburke2683 Жыл бұрын
Indeed. The MK3 was my least favourite of the Cortina models. Ford was just copying the design popular in the US at the time. It never looked right here. Nevertheless, West Cork was still Cork, so the products of the Marina always sold well there.
