For a really 'away from it all' holiday you could do a lot worse than choose this island off the tip of Baltimore on the fringe of Roaringwater Bay. It is quite unspoilt, and there are cliffs and strands and rocky bays, and always the magnificent views of the coast and the comings and goings of boats. The island has the ruins of a 15th-century Franciscan Friary.
