Load up your photography kit bag with your camera and accessories, pack your warm clothing and good walking shoes and join us and other photographers on the Copper Coast tour. Just west of Tramore, lies one of the most spectacular coastal stretches in Ireland known as the Copper Coast. It comprises some 30 kilometers of spectacular coastline, and it will give you a fantastic opportunity to photograph scenes consisting of sandy beaches and coves which are enclosed by rocky headlands. The combining of oceans, volcanoes, deserts and ice sheets has created these rocks. The coastal stretch passes through five small villages and will offer us, cliff walks, panoramic views, woodlands and clear water. Continuing along the coast road, we will eventually reach the bustling coastal town of Dungarvan. All sample images on this page were photographed along the Copper Coast and will be visited during the tour.
