The story behind Sherkin

Sherkin Island, just 10 minutes by ferry from Baltimore, is one of the most accessible islands in Ireland. Its three miles make for a lovely walk along fuchsia-lined lanes, which inspired this candle's scent, with breathtaking views all round. Stop at Cow Beach or Silver Strand for a swim or a picnic, and enjoy some island hospitality in the Jolly Roger.
