The Old Head of Kinsale is home to one of the world's most spectacular golf courses. Covering the end of the peninsula itself, bounded by cliffs on all sides with only a narrow isthmus connecting it to the rest of the peninsula, it's a strange mixture of wilderness and manicured beauty.
There has been a lighthouse at the Old Head since 1665. The original building is still present and was a cottage type with an open fire on its roof. The current 40-foot tower was built in 1853.
This photograph was made near sunset on a late summer's evening. The view is to the north with the golf course and lighthouse in the foreground and Kinsale town on the main coast to the right of frame. The low angle of the sun creates dramatic shadows which show the beautiful sculpting of the golf course very clearly.
Made with an ultra-high resolution digital sensor, in a large print golfers can be clearly seen on the course.

A perfect reminder of my trip to Ireland
Not sure if I will, but I hope to return to Ireland someday. If I do, near the top of my list is another trip to Peter's gallery in Killarney. I stopped by 3 or 4 times during my visit and just couldn't get enough. He never tired of me walking around, asking questions, and not buying a thing. His work is absolutely spectacular.
A couple of months after returning to the USA I visited his website (again) and purchased a framed version of The Old Head of Kinsale. The picture of this photograph on the website does not do justice to its quality. The detail in the photo is just stunning.
The order process went smooth, and the packaging/delivery process could not have been better.
If you can get to Peter's studio, go. If you can't, go online and keep in mind the pictures there understate the true character of the photo itself.
Buy some of his work and enjoy.

Glimpse of Ireland’s rugged beauty
This is always a fresh and compelling reminder of Ireland’s rugged beauty every time I walk past this print. It also reminds me of the amazing time we had while there on a golf trip we took with a friend for his 60th birthday.
Also, very much appreciated the care taken when shipping to the US and the customer service related to that. Visiting the gallery in person is an experience as well!
Problem, solved
Shopping for a loved one? Finding choice difficult? Get them a gift card, and they can pick the print they love the best.
Really enjoying Irish light. My son in law is a local to Kerry so many of the locations are familiar . Spectacular landscapes and beautiful light. Really well done. Thank you
This is my 5th print purchased from Peter Cox Photography. I've had my eye on it for a while and to commemorate our wedding we decided to treat ourselves. It is stunning, and works so beautifully in our home. I adore these photos and look forward to adding more to my collection in time.
This piece is stunning! My husband and I vacationed to Ireland in July of 2018 and passed this exact piece hanging in the gallery window in Killarney and fell in love. We just built a home and felt this artwork needed to be a part of it.
Ordering, payment, shipping all very easy. Large piece arrived quickly and unscathed. Beautiful photograph. Also had excellent Informative encounter at the store in Killarney Ireland with the Female staff person.
Absolutely Stunning Piece of Artwork, Shipped Securely to US
I was enchanted by the Grand Masterpiece sized canvas print of Small Skellig when my husband and I visited the Peter Cox Photography shop in Killarney, Ireland. It did not at first occur to me that I could order and ship it to the US. Once I had returned home, I continued to think about that beautiful piece of artwork. I looked it up online and discovered I could ship it to the US at no charge. Of course, I was also worried about it arriving in perfect condition. However, they took amazing care to box it securely in perfectly sized boxes. It arrive safe and beautiful, ready to hang. It is now hanging majestically over our family room sofa. This space has remained bare for twenty years, because I never found a piece of art I love enough to place there - until now! Thank you for sharing your beautiful photography with the world!
I purchased two prints online, Mount Errigal and Dunmore. I was informed of the shipping time and the tracking was effortless, arrived on time in a perfectly sealed envelope with multiple layers of cardboard in between, and the prints were individually wrapped in a clear sleeve and a few sheets of matboard to keep the print flat.
The prints are signed and named on the white border under the print, high-quality paper, and sharp and detailed prints, I am very happy with the purchase.
Thank you
Saw this 7 years ago in Killarney in the gallery and should have bought it then. Returned last fall, and should have bought it then.
Bought it online this spring, and arrived quickly, with great communication! Has been framed, hung, and is being enjoyed! Even the framer said it was an AMAZING photograph!
We visited your gallery in Killarney a few years ago and purchased one of your books with amazing photographs. As it was recently my husband’s 60th birthday I bought him a print of Small Skellig which he is fascinated with. He was absolutely delighted with it and it is now hanging on our wall. It is a great link with your book which is on a nearby table for all to look at! Ordering process was great and quick delivery. Thank you.
If you cannot see Ireland with your own eyes, Peter’s brilliant photography is the next best thing. This book is flawless, and we will definitely be buying more copies.
In addition, the customer service we received was first class. We requested a personalized, signed copy for our friend and Carol and Peter didn’t hesitate to make it happen.
Thanks, again!
Photographs of places you love will transport you there every time you see them. It's like a tiny holiday several times a day!

Small Skellig, Kerry
This picture is magnificent in that it captures the essence of the Little Skellig Island. Every time I look at it over my sofa, I remember feeling grateful for traveling to Ireland and experiencing the way your photography mesmerized me. Thank you for showcasing the the wonders of this landscape.

Stunning Small Skellig
I ordered Peter Cox's stunning photo of Small Skellig which now sits in my main foyer at home. I get as much enjoyment from looking at it every time I come home as I do explaining its origins to guests who remark and ask about it when they arrive!

Heather in bloom
The flowers are Heather, our oldest daughter was named Heather. This photograph picked us as much as we picked it. Phenomenal photograph of beauty and peacefulness, we purchased the museum size acrylic print - ready to hang. It arrived to our Iowa doorstep in perfect condition and looks amazing above our open stairway. We had the added bonus of meeting Peter during our visit to his Killarney gallery. Terrific human and talented artist. The entire experience turned out to be an unexpected highlight of our Ireland vacation.
