VANLIFE IRELAND (beyond the Wild Atlantic Way)

- This week we bring you along for a week in our vanlife on the south coast in Ireland! After 100 days in nature spots, we try swapping the rural country life for the big city life in Cork. Iz thinks she can thrash Tom at cycling and we fill you in on where we will be taking you along with us in future videos.
If you're new around here - welcome and thank you for stopping by to our channel. We hope to bring you good positive vibes each week with our videos. We are Tom and Iz - a couple from Cornwall who decided to hit the road and embrace a new way of life, living and exploring in our tiny home on wheels, La Bamba. We invite you along with us on our recent escapades in our weekly vlogs. We love to embrace adventure and soak up nature every day. We're currently traveling around Ireland in our transit van and have just finished the Wild Atlantic Way and are now making our journey towards Rosslare, exploring along the way. Ireland has really stolen our hearts; come along with us on this week's episode as we explore the city of Cork and then get our cycling legs on the Greenway! If you've missed our travels so far - check out our previous episodes, we upload weekly on a Sunday at 5pm :)
You join as whilst Iz takes a morning dip in the sea and then whips us up a sausage sandwich and we start our day of exploring. Our first stop of the day is at Nohoval which looks dramatic in the stormy weather. Thanks so much to everyone who has sent us tips for exploring Ireland, we really appreciate all the recommendations for places to visit!
After 100 days exploring the wild rugged coast line of the Wild Atlantic Way we head onto our first motorway in months near the city of Cork and it feels quite exciting driving on a fast big road after so long in the sticks! We head into the town of Cobh to park up where we can make the most of the camper van services and also get a train into Cork! First stop in Cobh is into the heritage centre where we learn more about the waves of emigration from Cobh throughout history, we also learn more about the tragedy of Titantic; Cobh was the last place that the Titantic set sail from before the disaster occurred. That evening, Iz cooks up a cauliflower curry and washes her hair in the sink vanlife style!
The next day you join us running for a train, and we confirm that Iz is addicted to being in a rush, as she decides to make one more cup of tea before making the train, and doesn't even drink it! We arrive into Cork and first stop is to visit the English Market, one of the top attractions in Cork, where traders sell organic and locally produced food, in an 18th century covered market. We then walk over to Saint Finbarr's Cathedral, who is the patron saint of Cork! We then head onto Izz cafe, partly due to it being Iz's name and also because it was rated really highly in online reviews. We find out the cafe is Palestinian and try out a couple of yum dishes from the menu! All re-fuelled, we head on to the Shandon, the historic quarter, and find the tower of St. Anne's church, which is known as the four faced liar, as each face of the clock tells a different time! We then find the cathedral of St. Mary and St. Anne, which is one of Cork's iconic buildings. We find ourselves a bit lost as to what to do in a city and head back to our van and drive on along the south coast. We have a couple of days without filming and join you again as we are driving along to Mahon falls. We take a steep climb up to the top of the falls and feel the power of the water crashing down. Tom has been feeling wiped out and ill all week so he takes a covid test but thankfully it's negative! Next stop is to a nearby beach called Bunmahon where we get treated to some evening sunshine.
We wake the next day to glorious sunshine so we head to Dungarven to the Green Way where we rent bikes from O'Mahony Cycles for 15 euros each for the day. Iz thinks she will thrash Tom and they get their cycling legs going after almost a year since their last cycle ride! We absolutely love cycling again and we want to do more of it! We cycle from Dungarvan to Kilmacthomas and enjoy a cider and some chips in the sunshine. On the way back we tell you about our future plans and what's next for our adventures!
We upload every Sunday at 5pm GMT so hope to see ya there!

Hey everyone I hope you're all having a great weekend. In this weeks episode we fill you in on our future plans whilst I try and beat Tom on the bike 😛 Let us know in the comments if you enjoyed this episode! I really like the music Tom chose for our bike ride! What do you think ha? Take care and happy Sunday to you all 🥰
loved ye'rs vlog. Thanks for history of Cork. loved bike ride in Greenway. Dungarvan.
Ah come here you two,only a few mins in,and ye swam in a beach i swim in ha ha. Off to watch the rest. Ye missed out on homemade jam,cuppa, scones and brunch,ha ha. Ye even passed my town. I wish i knew, i would have for sure treated you two wonderful people.I am so glad ye had a great time.Excited to see Cornwall through your eyes. Estonia sounds brilliant. Our travel plans have been put on a hold because of current things going on. Well done on the greenway cycle. Yes loved the bikeride music.
The music is so fab. I need to know what it is…🧐???
May 1, 2023: What makes your channel unique in the van life is that you do not only travel, to eat at various places but your adventure in hiking through the countryside and the treacherous mountains. Including the history that brings to us. We can also see how beautiful people you are with the reaction of those that you meet. That is a gift.
Great video again hope you enjoyed the Hurling Match. I was there and enjoyed it. Stay safe.
Hey Declan! thats so cool that you were there too!! Hope you had fun!
Didn't think ye were interested in sport so I'm delighted to hear ye are going to a hurling match even though its only league time of year it really hots up for the summer championship when the ground is hard, the stadiums are full and there's so much colour and passion on and off the field. It's a very ancient activity, all villages and townlands will have their own club so you represent your own community against other clubs in your county so victory bragging rights become almost life and death encounters, the savagery and ferocity and excitement is incredible, then of course. The elite best of the best players from each club are chosen to represent their county and then play the elite of all the other counties in all Ireland competitions. The speed, skills and fitness levels of the players will amaze youI'm sure , and their only reward is pride in their Jersey their county their community its a totally amature game which regularly attracts over 80 thousand fans come championship. We are very proud of our national game hope you enjoy your experience of it.
I've been to Cornwall many years ago when I lived in England for awhile a very beautiful place but I'm looking forward to seeing the more hidden gems off the normal tourist trail I'd be familiar with. I'm sure it will be very interesting.
The trip to Estonia sounds exciting looking forward to that too.
Hey James aw we did really enjoy seeing the game of hurling and couldn't miss a match before leaving Ireland! We loved the family atmosphere and the energy in the crowds! Thanks so much for your enthusiasm!
Tom, you’re an amazing guy for keeping up with that wild woman!
Iz, stay WILD!!!!
Luv you guys so much!
From Portishead Marina (Oryx)

Loved it this week.
I grew up in Cork, now living in the US for over 40 years! You did a great job of showing some of "The City By the Lee", excellent work! Onwards and upwards, I love your channel.
You can never waste time making a mug of tea! What you need is an insulsted travel mug so you can take your tea with you 😉
Great video again guys. Every time I see cork I miss it after living/studying there for 7 years 😞. Well done on cracking content.
Hey Tom, aww Cork was gorgeous, loved the bridges going over the river. What a place to study at! Thanks for your lovely support!
We'll miss you. Enjoy your travels. 😊
Hey Annie we will miss you too - take care :)

Ireland was great, looking forward to following on the nxt 😉👌
Great to see a different perspective on Cobh and Cork City. The Greenway looked cool. Thanks for bringing us along. You both have great upbeat, ful of life personalities.👍😊🇮🇪🇬🇧
Guys you're wonderful. You give us such amazing content. You don't use clickbait to entice viewers, like some channels. And uou get of your ass and actually do things. I love your channel. Thank you.
You are both a breath of fresh air. Some of the places that you have discovered in Ireland are magical and you present them so beautifully. Looking forward to the next video, hope you enjoyed the hurling !
Hi guys, another amazing video, thank you, i look forward to see around and learn about beautiful Cornwall, and i almost forgot, thanks to Izzy i learned a brand new word, "pot-holey" roads
Hey Colm, haha pot- holey lol! thanks for your lovely positive feedback!
so happy you enjoyed your time here... amazing content and no better advertisement for our nice little rock ....!!!
Heyaa thank youu!! so lovely of you to say and Ireland made it easy as it was soo beaut!
Hi Tom and Iz - It was great seeing your adventure around Ireland's coast and looking forward to seeing your trip to Estonia. I visited the capital Tallinn a few years ago and can totally recommend a visit - it's one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe. One small correction - Estonia does NOT have a border with Ukraine, but it does border Russia. The world seemed so much safer when I was there - hope this terrible war does not interfere with your plans.
Love watching you two every Sunday night. 😀
Thanks Craig - means a lot!!
Excited to see my hometown of Waterford in the next video, hope ye had a great time 😊
aw thanks Kevin, we really did was a lot of fun!
Well done guys, another great video. Best of luck on all future travels and thank you for taking us along to enjoy 😊😊

Hello Rob aw stop it haha!! thank youuu!! yes I hope you are getting some sunshine too :)
Thank Tom and Isobel for another fantastic vlog - definitely one of my favourites. So much content squeezed into the 25 minutes or so, made it very enjoyable. You have a knack of making me (the viewer) feel as though I'm part of the journey. Looking forward to the remaining Irish vlog(s), your return home to Cornwall, and all being well the epic journey to Estonia 💙 Go easy, step light and stay free.
Lovely words Peter, we are so pleased you feel like you are coming along on the journey with us! ✨

Great Vlog and so pleased you supported an independent Palestinian cafe, the food looked delish. Hurling is a fantastic game to watch and play, you'll enjoy it. Isn't Ireland a spectacular place.
Wonderful vlog guys, so many interesting places to visit, especially around the harbour. Keep loving the life ❤
Heya Asa aww thanks ever so much! have a great week!! x
Back in the 1950's, Laurel & Hardy arrived into Cobh Harbour by ship from America. They were going to spend some time here in Ireland. The people of Cobh were delighted they were coming & as the ship came into harbour, the bells of St Colmans Cathedral rang out the The Cuckoo Song, the theme that we all know from their movies.
Fantastic watching you both. Best of luck as you forward and beyond with your adventures
Keep it going
Hey Fergus, aw cheers for this!! we will keep going and thanks for the positive encouragement!!
Just class.
Great vlog as usual guys so glad you got some really nice weather before you go. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay. See you next week 👍🇮🇪

Another cracking vlog! We haven't explored east of Cork - it looks stunning so adding it to our ever lengthening wishlist. Your trip to Estonia should be something special. I can't really suggest owt en route as I'm more of a Coatia\Northern Italy fan but Tallinn has long been on my wishlist too so can't wait to see your vlogs for that gorgeous city. Keep living the dream and sharing it with us. Great stuff 👍
I will be so sorry to see you leaving Ireland but your future plans in mainland Europe sound amazing! I cant wait to tag along through the videos and see some more of beautiful Cornwall too! 😁
Good stuff as usual. If the notion is taking you guys to Estonia and provided you keep an eye on the Ukraine situation, then wishing you well for that adventure.
Thank you!
