Almost Getting Sunstroke in One of Irelands beautiful locations.Three Castle head, West Cork.Ireland
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- I had been longing for this trip long before lockdown was in place and now that we can move around again within our own County ( Cork for me ) I just had to get in the car and go.
Three Castle Head sits on the Mizen Peninsula and is on private farm land but with easy access and a small 3euro fee per person ( 1 euro goes to charity )
The Area has three castles and was Founded in 1207 by Donagh O’Mahony. Dunlough is one of the oldest Norman castles in southern Ireland and an example of Norman architecture and dry stone masonry.
Let's go explore this hidden gem along the Wild Atlantic Way

I was only down there recently on a beautiful day. I'll have to go down on a cold crisp winters morning the next time and hopefully I'll get to see some mist over the lake. Great video!!

Super photos of an outstanding location.
Thanks John
Fantastic video Darren, very much enjoyed the drone footage and you came away with some great shots at the end of it. I had never heard of Three Castle Head before!
Thanks Shane .. it’s a fantastic spot
When epic music makes an epic location....MORE EPIC! My kind of place; I love Mizenhead and the surrounding area.
Lol.. sounds like a good intro :-) thanks man

Wow, you were right! What a place 😀 And your portrayal of it. Wow 😀
Nora Young thanks Nora .. how’s the diesel tank ? :-)
@@DarrenJSpoonley Full!!! 😀😀😀
Cracking drone work mate - I would be crapping myself if I let mine fly that far out over the sea!! Worth it though for the footage - great shots and a super location.Top vlog!
Thanks Jamie .. it certainly felt good to be out in it and sure if it crashes it crashes ;-) at least I get footage 😎😎
nature is a true magic!! beautiful video
Thanks very much for watching
Images looked wonderful

Another great vlog Darren 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks buddy .. it’s a stunning spot .. more to come :-)
Just beautiful
Thank you very much .. thanks for watching
Hi Darren, Wow - definitely - this place is absoltely gorgeous and you got out some really fantastic photos. Also your drone footage - what a place :)
Ireland looks amazing. I guess there are even more places like that in Ireland with ruins and water?
Nice greetings,
Christian
Thank you my friend .. glad you enjoyed it .. it’s my first time there but I will be back for sure .. yes we have lots of ruins but very little active castles here but none like this with 3 , a lake and 100ft cliffs either side with the wild Atlantic :-)
Amazing work.
Thanks Mark.. hope you got that goosebump feeling creating over the ridge :-)
Great video, epic location. And excellent choice of music 🎶👌📷💪
Have to visit that place myself.
Keep going Darren 😉
Good stuff Pablo .. you’ve loads more to go back over on the channel too :-)
@@DarrenJSpoonley that's for sure. I will watch 😉
Beautiful place and well done vid. My mom's Regan ancestors were from Cork so it's on my bucket list.
Thanks very much .. it’s a stunning place .. thanks for watching
What a great piece of video and camera work.
I'd love to visit this site.
Thanks for sharing with us !!
Thanks for watching .. glad you enjoyed it .. I hope to get back there again someday
@@DarrenJSpoonley I've never visited Ireland yet, but I'm hoping to visit Ireland soon.
it's not too far away from us.
A road trip to the castle would be fun.
Fantastic!
Thank you
Unbelievable drone footage, top notch mossy
sound man !!!
Wow. The drone footage really provides perspective. Beautiful country.
Thanks a lot ..
Beautiful!
Thanks Brother P .. who needs faroes for ocean lakes :-)
Brilliant video Darren, loved the drone footage simply stunning, what a fantastic location, thanks for sharing.
Thank you John.. it’s a little hidden gem but it did come alive from the air alright :-)
Great vlog Darren. Super drama created by the music, the terrain, great drone footage and the timing of the shots in relation to the music. This is a hidden gem. Been here a few times and it never disappoints. Good to see Diarmuid staying within his own county bounds. 😜😜
Thanks Fergus .. enjoyed putting this one together .. stunning. Apt for sure and it seems now that they will have more visitors after this video .it’s a place I will return to also for sure .. thanks for watching .. how’s your own video coming along ?
Darren J Spoonley Photography Slowly. Too busy shooting. Was learning ‘Da Vinci Resolve 16’ and put together a 30 minute Virtual Graduation piece for 6th class pupils leaving school made up of 26 videos - some my own - some from them & hundreds of photos adding music, voice overs, different transitions etc. It went down well. And so I have my Osmo Pocket, Drone and Sony A6400 & Gimbals and am heading to West Cork and Kerry tomorrow and will try a vlog from somewhere down there. Got a lot of tips from watching this and hats off, putting all the vlog together is far more difficult than people think. Well done!
Mighty stuff Darren, gorgeous images, what a country.
Thanks Alan .. it’s stunning man ..
Enjoyed that Thanks
You’re welcome .. good to see you back .. haven’t seen you on my channel in a long while .. Slàn
Superb Darren, brings back so many memories of my childhood and some great images
John Harrington thanks John , glad you enjoyed it ..
Great video Darren, stunning spot. I haven't been there in years but it's on the list for a day long spin again soon. Some location though.
Sound man Kieran .. it was on my list for ages but said to hell with it and headed off and I’m glad that I did .. Astro here too would be great .. we had planned it but clouds stopped play
@@DarrenJSpoonley that would be amazing alright. I only had a flying visit there and didn't have my drone with me on the day. Sheeps head is another great spot also the list.
Sheep’s head is nice for sure .. it’s a long walk bit worth it .. I did it in the dark which wasn’t the best idea :-) the lighthouse is buried into the cliff so ideal for drone
Really enjoyed this one Darren, loved the drone footage
Sound man Mark ..
Lovely video nice mixture of B roll and photography, great images obviously a number 1 place to visit if your in Ireland, look forward to the next video.
Thanks Kevin.. I for one will be back there again :-) thanks for watching , glad you enjoyed it
3:50 my head fell off! Bloody brilliant, week in week out 👌 great vlog! 8:07 I say! 😍👍 12:01 love this shot! But the drone footage and shots! Off the SCALE!!
lol.. thanks my friend .. sorry for your pain :-) heads falling off can’t be nice :-). Glad you liked it , I had a feeling you would
Darren J Spoonley Photography gutted I missed the prem still! But enjoyed it in my own chilled time with my head rolling across the floor 😂
Looking forward to this. Used to go to beach at Barley Cove as a kid
Ahh.. lucky you :-) it’s a stunning spot John .. Altho Three Castle Head blew my mind .. you’ll enjoy this one :-)
Enjoyed that Darren, looks a fab place, never been there, has to go on the list. Some fab drone footage and images as well. Great job!
Thanks Damien.. I was like a kid in a toy shop there .. it’s magical
A breath of fresh air haven't taken a real photo in ages. Lovely drone imagery
Great vid Darren, looks a fab location so must venture to west Cork again. Great stuff.
Thanks Tom, Looking forward to seeing the results :-)
Great vlog Darren, must take a spin down and shot that location....
Thanks George.. I’d highly recommend it
Loved this. I’m always looking for places to see in Cork when I’m there visiting my sons and I’m a keen photographer.
Thanks Elaine.. it’s a hidden gem there and lots more around there to explore
looks like an amazing spot, lovely job as usual man !! Think I should visit it at night :)
Thanks buddy .. that was our plan that day actually :-)
Looks like perfect for it.. we may plan something there so 🤞🤞
I'm looking forward to this video, I'm going to this place in a week, now at least I'll know more, I've never been there :) :)
Ohh wait till you see it man .. :-)
Wow that drone shot at 04:00 😮 I think I just creamed my pants. That's a Pano drone image in itself. Sold on County Cork mate. Time to go back I reckon.
Thanks buddy .. knew the spot would tickle ya :-) the drone made it come alive for sure tho
Damn its nice to see you guys back out again, thats a beautiful location. Is it available for astro?
Thanks Buddy .. it was a great Trip.. we had plans for Astro while there as it’s perfect without any light
@@DarrenJSpoonley i wish we had castles over here i really need to get over there whenever travel resumes
Out of curiosity how far was the drone from you for that last shot at 13:58? I reckon 2km.
Close Bro .. 1.3
👏
Cheers Pal .. knew you would like it :-)
Hi Darren, what month was this filmed, also how long is the walk from the parking area to the site ? Ta.
Thanks for watching Glen, it was the end of June 2020 from memory ! Since then drones aren’t allowed at the location however
@@DarrenJSpoonley : Thanks Darren, how long is the walk ?
@Glenrsi sorry forgot to answer that part :-( around 1.5km with about a 15-20 degree incline at places
