    Exploring Achill Island's Natural Beauty

    29 Mei 2024, Irlandia ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    Our adventure today took us to the stunning Achill Island, a jewel off the coast of County Mayo, known for its spectacular beaches, dramatic cliffs, and vibrant wildlife. The complete coastal road around the island offered breathtaking views and a chance to truly immerse ourselves in the natural beauty of this special place.

    As we drove around the island, we were treated to scenes of pristine beaches where the Atlantic's wild waves meet fine, sandy shores. The contrast of the blue sea with the lush greenery of the land was striking. The cliffs of Achill, towering and majestic, provided panoramic views of the ocean, a testament to the island's rugged beauty. Amidst the natural landscape, bursts of color from the rhododendron bushes added a vibrant splash to our scenic drive.

    One of the day's unique experiences was indulging in a traditional seaweed bath, a soothing and rejuvenating treat that left us feeling refreshed and connected to the local customs. The brave among us also took a dip in the chilling sea—freezing but invigorating, especially under the sunny sky that graced our day.

    Achill Island also holds a special allure for film enthusiasts, having served as one of the filming locations for the movie "The Banshees of Inisherin." We visited several spots that featured in the film, which added an exciting layer of recognition and connection to our exploration.    Baca selengkapnya

    North Mayo Circle

    30 Mei 2024, Irlandia ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

    Our exploration of North Mayo today took us on a spectacular circuit, starting with the historic Blacksod Lighthouse, then meandering through the stunning coastal landscapes of Elly Bay and Portaclay, and concluding at the remarkable Downpatrick Head.

    Blacksod Lighthouse served as our first stop. Positioned at the tip of the Mullet Peninsula, this lighthouse has played a pivotal role in maritime history and is known for its crucial weather forecast, which influenced the timing of the D-Day landings in 1944. Its stark white structure against the backdrop of the wild Atlantic Ocean made for a striking and somewhat solemn start to our day.

    Next, we visited Elly Bay, renowned for its beautiful beach and tranquil waters, a stark contrast to the ruggedness of other coastal areas. The bay, with its gentle waves and fine sand, was a serene spot for a leisurely walk, with Awen and Nessy enjoying the open space to run and play freely.

    Our journey continued to the Portaclay Cliff Walk, where the landscapes turned dramatically rugged again, offering breathtaking views of the cliffs diving into the ocean below. The path, though exposed, provided a thrilling sense of adventure as we navigated along the edge, with panoramic vistas that stretched out into the infinite blue.

    The culmination of our day was at Downpatrick Head, a truly awe-inspiring location. The standout feature here is Dun Briste, an imposing sea stack that rises majestically from the sea, separated from the mainland by centuries of erosion. The myths and history enveloping this spot, combined with its natural beauty, made it an unforgettable end to our day’s adventures.

    Each site today brought with it a unique story and a different perspective of Ireland’s natural majesty. As we returned to our accommodation, our hearts and cameras full of the day's images, we reflected on the diverse and dynamic character of Ireland that continues to captivate and enchant.

    Scenic Journey to County Donegal

    31 Mei 2024, Irlandia ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    Our journey today led us into the stunning landscapes of County Donegal, a region famed for its rugged beauty and pristine beaches. Before reaching our final destination, we made memorable stops at Streedagh Beach, Mullaghmore Head, Fintra Beach, and the majestic Slieve League cliffs.

    Streedagh Beach was our first stop, a place of dramatic historical significance as well as natural beauty. Known for the Spanish Armada shipwrecks off its coast, the long, sandy beach was an ideal location for a peaceful walk under the morning sun. The expansive shoreline, backed by dunes and framed by distant mountains, was a breathtaking sight.

    Next, we visited Mullaghmore Head, a short drive away, famous for its big wave surfing and spectacular coastal views. The headland offers a stunning perspective on the wild Atlantic, with Classiebawn Castle overlooking the ocean—a picturesque setting that feels like stepping into a postcard.

    Continuing our journey, we stopped for a swim at Fintra Beach, another beautiful strand renowned for its golden sands and clear, turquoise waters. Despite the brisk temperature of the sea, the sunny weather made for a refreshing dip.

    The highlight of the day was our hike at the Slieve League Cliffs. Some of the highest sea cliffs in Europe, they offer jaw-dropping views that are arguably among the best in Ireland. The walking paths around the cliffs provided us with sweeping vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged coastline below, a truly spectacular sight that underscored the raw beauty of Donegal.

    We ended our day by arriving at a charming and cozy cottage by the sea in Dooey, which promised a restful base for our explorations in the area. The cottage's quaintness, coupled with its proximity to the sea, made it a perfect retreat to relax and recount the day's adventures.

    As we settled in for the evening, the sounds of the sea were a soothing backdrop, reminding us of the endless beauty that surrounds us here in Donegal.    Baca selengkapnya

    From Falcarragh to Fanad Head

    1 Juni 2024, Irlandia ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    Today's early start rewarded us with a full day of adventure and exploration across the northern reaches of County Donegal, a region celebrated for its stunning beaches, historical sites, and dramatic coastal landscapes.

    Our day began at Falcarragh Beach, where the morning sun and gentle waves welcomed us for a refreshing beach walk. The wide, sandy stretch was peaceful and invigorating, setting a serene tone for the day.

    From there, we traveled to Horn Head, making a worthwhile detour to visit Doe Castle. Perched on a promontory with water on three sides, Doe Castle is steeped in history and offers picturesque views of the surrounding waters. The castle's serene setting and robust architecture provided a fascinating glimpse into Ireland's storied past.

    Continuing our journey, we embarked on a scenic drive around the Rosguill Peninsula. This lesser-known drive rivals the more famous routes in Ireland for its sheer beauty and tranquility. The winding roads offered panoramic views of the rugged coastline, with lush greenery and the expansive ocean stretching out before us.

    The day's highlight was our visit to Fanad Head Lighthouse. Situated at the northern tip of the Fanad Peninsula, the lighthouse stands as a sentinel over the Atlantic, its presence both imposing and reassuring. The surrounding cliffs and the lighthouse itself are not only a beacon for ships but also a magnet for photographers and nature lovers.

    Before concluding our day, we made a stop at Portsalon Beach for a quick dip. Recognized as one of the most beautiful beaches in Ireland, its fine sandy shores and crystal-clear waters were the perfect way to cool down after a day filled with exploration.

    Exhausted yet fulfilled, we returned to our cottage in Dooey, reflecting on the day's journey through some of the most beautiful landscapes Donegal has to offer. As we settled in for the evening, the warm memories of sunlit shores and historic sites accompanied our thoughts, rounding off another perfect day in Ireland.    Baca selengkapnya

    Dooey Beach and Assaranca Waterfall

    2 Juni 2024, Irlandia ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    After witnessing a spectacular sunset yesterday, today we awoke to the more familiar rain-sprinkled landscape of Donegal. Embracing the Irish weather, we decided to enjoy a more relaxed pace and started our day with a long, soothing stroll along Dooey Beach. The rain brought a fresh, crisp quality to the air, making our walk along the sandy stretch particularly invigorating, with the waves providing a rhythmic soundtrack to our reflections.

    As the day progressed and we gained a brief respite from the rain, we ventured to explore more of Donegal’s natural wonders. Our first stop was the Assaranca Waterfall, a hidden gem not far from Ardara. The waterfall, especially lively after the recent rains, cascaded beautifully into a pool below, surrounded by lush greenery that seemed even more vibrant under the overcast sky.

    Next, we made our way to Maghera Beach, renowned for its extensive system of sea caves accessible at low tide. The dramatic coastline, coupled with the caves, offered an almost otherworldly experience as we explored the cavernous spaces, echoing with the sounds of the ocean. The mist and the muted light created an atmosphere of mystery and ancient allure, as if stepping through a portal in time.

    Our day of gentle explorations concluded with a return to our cozy cottage by the sea, where we warmed up and reminisced about the unique beauty of the places we had visited. Despite the rain, or perhaps because of it, today offered us a deeper connection to the serene and sometimes wild spirit of Donegal.    Baca selengkapnya

    Exploring the Inishowen Peninsula

    3 Juni 2024, Irlandia ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

    Our final day in the north of Ireland took us on a memorable journey around the Inishowen Peninsula, the northernmost point of the country. This part of Ireland, less traversed by the typical tourist, offered us unique sights and experiences, from dramatic landscapes to charming local spots.

    We began our day by driving through the stunning Mamore Gap. The road through the gap is both thrilling and scenic, with sharp turns and steep inclines that reveal sweeping views of the surrounding hills and the sea beyond. The rugged beauty of this area set the tone for a day of adventure and exploration.

    Next, we stopped at Tullagh Strand, a beautiful beach ideal for a leisurely walk. Awen and Nessy enjoyed the freedom of the wide, open space, running around and playing in the sand and surf. The sound of the waves and the salty air made our stroll rejuvenating and peaceful.

    Continuing our journey, we made a fun detour to Farren's Bar, the northernmost pub in Ireland. There, we enjoyed a relaxing drink, basking in the local ambiance and chatting with some friendly locals, which added a warm, social element to our day.

    Our trip then took us to Malin Head, the pinnacle of our journey around Inishowen. Known for its dramatic cliff walks and as a filming location for major films, Malin Head did not disappoint. The walk along the cliffs offered breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and the vast Atlantic Ocean—a perfect spot for contemplative moments and stunning photographs.

    Before returning to our cottage, we made one last stop at Kinnagoe Bay. The secluded beach, enclosed by hills and cliffs, was the perfect place for a final swim. The tranquil bay, with its clear waters and picturesque setting, was a fitting end to our explorations in the north.

    We concluded our day with a visit to the Inishowen Head Lighthouse, adding another scenic and historical highlight to our adventure. The lighthouse, standing guard over the coastline, provided a serene backdrop as we reflected on our travels.    Baca selengkapnya

    Visit to Saltee Island

    5 Juni 2024, Irlandia

    Our journey yesterday brought us southward from the rugged landscapes of County Donegal to County Wexford, marking the final chapter of our Irish adventure. The trip was predominantly a travel day, but one last highlight awaited—a visit to the enchanting Saltee Islands, a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.

    Leaving Awen and Nessy to relax, I ventured alone to Saltee Island renowned for its significant bird population, including the charming and photogenic puffins. The transfer to the island was a bit rough, thanks to the choppy waters, but the destination proved well worth the journey.

    Upon arriving, I was greeted by the sight of numerous sea birds in their natural habitat. The island is one of the most important bird sanctuaries in Ireland, and for three hours, I had the privilege of observing these fascinating creatures up close. The puffins, with their colorful beaks and curious nature, were particularly delightful to watch and photograph. Their antics and interactions provided endless opportunities for capturing stunning images against the backdrop of the island’s rugged cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean.

    The experience of being so close to such a variety of birds in their undisturbed environment was truly awe-inspiring. The Saltee Islands offer a rare glimpse into a vibrant ecosystem, where life continues largely untouched by human influence.

    As I returned to Wexford, the time spent on Saltee Island felt like a perfect culmination to our extensive exploration of Ireland. It was a poignant reminder of the natural beauty and wildlife that thrives along this country's shores—treasures that, much like the rest of our journey, leave lasting impressions.
