Description: | View of Bantry Bay in Ireland. The bay is the largest of the inlets in south-west Ireland. It is approximately 35 km long, running in a south-west to north-easterly direction. The entrance to Bantry Bay is approximately 10 km wide, steadily narrowing to 3-4 km at its head. It is well sheltered and its myriad of tiny island makes it a tranquil place of natural beauty. About 1600 English settlers arrived in the Bantry area attracted by the number of fish to be found in the bay. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
