Travel Guide
The BookTrail search for a small Irish village

“Don’t you feel alive? I feel the same thing every day I come here. It anchors me in a place that’s mine within the vastness.”
‘Ballycove’ is a fictional setting but it’s more than likely a hybrid of several little places dotted along the north west Atlantic coast and around Ireland in general.
It’s a lovely challenge to find your own Ballycove!
