Whiddy Island (Irish:Oileán Faoide) is an island near the head of Bantry Bay, Ireland. It is approximately 5.6km (3.5mi) long and 2.4km (1.5mi) wide. The topography comprises gently-rolling glacial till, with relatively fertile soil. As late as 1880 the island had a resident population of around 450, mainly engaged in fishing and small-scale farming, but today the population has reduced to approximately 20 people. Previously home to Whiddy Island Naval Air Station the island is noted for its oil terminal facilities - and the related Whiddy Island Disaster.
Economy and tourism
As of the 2011 census, the island has a permanent, resident population of 20 people. This increases with visitors arriving during the tourist season; many staying in self-catering accommodation in the form of restored traditional island cottages.
The island is linked to the mainland by the local ferry, Ocean Star III, with return trips several times a day. Bike hire is also available on the island, as is a local hackney service. Trips to and from the island and tours of the bay are available during the summer months, incorporating local history, scenery and the indigenous flora and fauna.
Three minutes of scenes and information about Whiddy Island.
There is now accommodation on the island "Whiddy School House" more info on whiddy.ie

Far, where dawn never ends Away, are echoes the old lady sings Crying that years Years I've been trapped in this cave Inside, a candle consumed by its flame And all of the repenting words aside I desire to hurt you Desert the world you belong to In the forest where I lay My hungry heart My mellow mind All my thoughts They're weak in kind They're dreams Red is the mountain of mice Rotten on the hour of demise The pile, it resembles a crown And every roaring squel Is shame in disguise Coming clear And all that you wished for Is becoming right now Still it stays, in troubling ways The ire Far, where dawn never ends Away, the old lady sings For years I've been trapped in this cave
