    I hope this link works in Google maps.

    I visited this lovely village three years ago and travelled the northern road out along the peninsula ... it was spectacular.

    I want to tell a UK friend about it but there seems to be no name anywhere on Google for it.

    I also found it on openstreetmap.org but the map is very poor, though there seems to be a name of Kilcrohane ?

    Also is there a name for the peninsula ?

    Tks !

    EDIT: Also Does anyone know anything about Bantry Aerodrome ? Is it used ? Any one know how long the runway is ?

    Ah great ! Many thanks. I am surprised that I am getting so little from Google Maps.

    I really hope I can get down there again sometime.

    Thanks again !
