Three Castle Head, Mizen, Co. Cork
Prints are made to order, so I can't take one back just because you've changed your mind, but if it arrives damaged or isn't what you ordered, I'll replace it at no cost. You can swap it within 30 days, though you'd cover the return postage.
The lake is haunted. I found that out after I'd already spent a very creepy morning alone beside it, waiting for light in near silence. Had I known beforehand, I might have been less relaxed about the whole thing!
Three Castle Head sits at the very southwestern tip of the Mizen Peninsula, about as far as you can go in Cork before there's nothing but ocean. The O'Mahony tower houses stand at the far end of a dark freshwater lake perched right on the clifftop above the Atlantic. It's an extraordinary setting from any angle, but from the air on this particular morning, the whole geography of the place revealed itself. How narrow and exposed the headland really is. How the land tapers to almost nothing, the sea pressing in from both sides.
Strong sunlight was hitting clean water at just the right angle, giving the Atlantic that deep teal colour. Cumulus clouds moved fast overhead, throwing patches of light and shadow across the headland, picking out field boundaries and the brown of last season's bracken against the green. White surf marks every edge where rock meets water. You can see the rock stacks at the tip where the cliffs have been carved back over centuries.
From the ground, you focus on the path, the castles, the lake. From above, you see a place being slowly reclaimed, field by field, wall by wall.

We produce all our prints to order, so you can be sure you're getting the best quality work to hang on your wall. As a result, in busy times it can take a while to process the orders. In the worst case, which is generally during the peak months of July-September, it can take 4-6 weeks to receive large framed prints. Large canvases generally take 2-3 weeks. Unframed prints are generally also 2-3 weeks at worst.
We aim to get prints out as quickly as possible, so we would expect and hope that you would receive them earlier than the above timeframes. If you have a particular need to get a print quickly, please let us know in the order notes and we'll prioritize it for you, or you can email us at info@petercox.ie.
Prints are well-packaged and in the unlikely event that it arrives damaged, we'll send a replacement free of charge.
When your order ships, you'll receive an email with your tracking number.
Thanks for your trust, and we hope you get many years of enjoyment from your new print!
