About this deal

We are a home for the forgotten, a sanctuary for the lost and … yes, a training ground for the greatest crooks of the future. At Crookhaven, students are trained in lock-picking, forgery and 'crim-nastics', all with the intention of doing good out in the world, by conning the bad and giving back to the innocent.

Streek Head, opposite and forming the southern point of entrance to the haven, is also conspicuous, rising steeply from the sea to an elevation of 44 metres. Two more in Ireland, one at Malin Head, County Donegal, and one in Rosslare County Wexford, but Crookhaven remained the most important of the Irish stations.Although the harbour dries at low tide, giving great feeding for a variety of wildlife including fox, heron and pheasant, there is a deepwater quay at the entrance to accommodate fishing boats and yachts. They explored the south west coast of Ireland in June 2017 and, from the water, took this perfect view of the quay, the ‘roadstone quarry’ and the mountain face above it, from which the stone has been extracted. Mizen Head is often claimed to be the most southerly point on the island of Ireland, but this is inaccurate as it is, in fact, the country's most southwesterly point. It was at the latter, in 1919, that the first east to west transatlantic telephone transmission took place.

The village name is attributed to an association with the Crooke family, and initially with Sir Thomas Crooke, 1st Baronet [5] [6] who also founded Baltimore, County Cork about 1610. The Crookhaven series is about a secret school where students are taught to do wrong, so that one day, they can put the world to right, perfect for readers aged 8+ that love stories about villains.The Italian entrepreneur Guglielmo Marconi came to Crookhaven, from 1901 until 1914, to experiment and develop wireless communication ostensibly for 'ship to shore' communication. Some of these tests and experiments took place between the Fastnet lighthouse, Crookhaven, and Cape Clear Island - since they were so closely connected. The Crooke family were granted large estates in west Cork in the early 17th century, but their association with the area ended around 1665, on the death of Sir Thomas's son and heir Sir Samuel.
