After a steep climb , we realised that we had missed a turning and had to go back downhill, and then up another steep road, and finally down-hill again to Goleen. From there we made another false turn looking for accomodation and a ferry which was marked on the map. We found neither, and went on to Crookshaven, passing a very nice beach on the way. In Crookshaven, a small village and harbour, we found our B&B at Marconi House which was once the home of Guglielmo Marconi, the father of wireless.
