And right next to the church is the cemetery, with plenty of room for expansion.
Peter and Yvonne (back to camera) and St. Patrick's.
The tree on the left looks out of place in the cemetery.
The Church of Ireland once again visible in this view over some of the graves and out into the country.
The Bandon River flows through town - not exactly surprising, but a very pleasant diversion nonetheless, as Peter & I went walking to find a store with some Jiffy bags.
Ducks ahoy!
These ones seemed to prefer just absorbing the sunshine on the river bank. The river was flowing quite vigorously too.
After finishing our shopping chores and looking around Bandon, it was time to head off to Kilkenny, where we planned to spend two nights to explore the south east corner.
