More about this scene

Glengarriff was a favourite tourist spot from the mid-nineteenth century when visited by Edward VII as Prince of Wales. The once-grand Eccles Hotel, facing the sea, attracted literary giants such as Thackeray, Yeats and Shaw. Its importance is summed up in the words of a nineteenth-century guide - that Glengarriff village is near the Eccles Hotel.
