Excerpt from Sketches in Carbery, County Cork: Its Antiquities, History, Legends, and Topography

There are many interesting places within the confines of Carbery, which supply the antiquarian, historian, naturalist, and artist with abundant inducements for examining into the records and curiosities of antiquity; studying through authentic sources the warlike achievements, the social customs and manners of past ages and of more recent times, and investigating the natural phenomena, and admiring the beauties of scenery displayed in so charming a manner where"er we turn our gaze.

Both visitor and tourist are well repaid for their toil and trouble whilst wandering through its hills and valleys, by observing views, marine and landscape, at once picturesque, stern, beautiful, and diversified in the highest degree - bold, rocky headlands, precipitous cliffs, rugged mountains, and gently winding and romantic harbours and bays.
