The Cookware Company

Regular customers are people who love to bake, decorate cakes, grow pigs for bacon, smoke fish, preserve fruit and vegetables, make jams, chutneys and marmalades, and maintain a tradition of home cooking every day.

Visitors to Bantry love to call in too. The shop is home to an impressive selection of tools, gadgets and equipment. So if you’re inspired by the flavours of West Cork, you can pick up everything you need to create your favourite dishes again at home.

Heron Gallery Café & Gardens

January 4, 2014 by Dunmanus

Heron Gallery

Heron Gallery showcases the work of Annabel Langrish, as well as a unique and unusual collection of objet d’art, prints and original artwork.

Annabel’s compelling paintings focus on the diversity of the wildlife that surrounds us here on the Sheep’s Head peninsula. Heron gallery’s gardens – designed with an artist’s eye – are a great spot to enjoy the gorgeous, wholesome local food you’ll find in the lovely café.

The café serves Fairtrade organic coffee and teas, delicious scones and cakes, and, in summer, simple, wholesome lunches using locally-sourced organic produce. There is a lovely sunny terrace for those precious sunny days and free Wi-Fi can be accessed both inside and outside.

Heron Gallery Gardens

Heron Gallery Gardens Ahakista

Our garden is open from April to the end of August. Visitors to the gallery and café are welcome to wander around and, if we get advance notice, we can prepare a slow food picnic that you can bring with you.

The organic gardens are informal, with colourful flower beds radiating out from a pond and pergola. There is a wildlife pond and walk around a large pond surrounded by wildflower meadow and young woodland.

We have planted an orchard of Irish heritage apples and you can see our 2 polytunnels and raised vegetable beds. We try to grow all the salads and vegetables we use in the café.

A path takes you up to the natural ridge area where there is a great view down Dunmanus Bay.

All visitors’ donations go towards our garden project which is to construct Ireland’s first barefoot path. Slowly, we are developing our idea for a path where you take off your shoes and experience mindful walking and connection with the earth through walking slowly with bare feet on different surfaces.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome. Children must be accompanied.

While the Heron Gallery in Ahakista is closed in the winter, you can see and buy Annabel’s work online, and in her Schull, Kinsale and Kenmare stores.

Location:Ahakista, Co. Cork.
Take the right fork in Durrus towards Sheep's Head. After Arundel’s Bar, turn right. We are 300 metres up the hill on the left.
Opening Hours:The gallery is open throughout the year, seven days a week.
The garden is open every day 10.30am to 5.00pm from Easter to end of August.

The Craft Shop

December 20, 2013 by Dunmanus

Craft Shop Bantry

The Craft Shop in Bantry has the best of Irish pottery, jewellery and locally-made Irish craft.

Whether you are looking for a unique piece, a presentation for a special occasion, or just want a little affordable luxury, there is nothing like the quality of a handmade piece of art or craftwork. The Craft Shop has something for everyone, whether you want a uniquely-decorated dinner service or a small ceramic animal, a hat or a pair of shoes, precious metals or bright beads, you will find something to suit you from this colourful and eclectic range of craft products.

The shop is set in the seaside market town of Bantry, in the heart of West Cork, an area of remarkable natural beauty. This is reflected in the work of many of the local craftworkers whose products are found on the shelves of the craft shop.
