We had the beach to ourselves this afternoon - and a fox. We drove round to Kinnagoe Bay that lies at the bottom of a wooded hill.You need to know it's there and I've rarely been on a beach as beautiful. Quite apart from being empty, clean and isolated and good for swimming at, it fires the imagination when you know its recent history.In 1588 one of the ships that had been commandeered to form part of the Spanish Armada foundered in the bay while sheltering from a storm the Trinidad Valencera. Those who survived were found on the shore, divested of their belongings, arms and clothes and put mercilessly to the sword. A lovely spot.
