Difficult to choose pictures which represent such a varied trip. The west coast of Ireland is full of stunning scenery and this area, Dog’s Bay, is just one example. We were staying nearby, north of Clifden at a beach campsite in Renvyle. Not far from there is the tourist attraction (we counted 22 coaches as we left) of Kylemore Abbey. The building is striking but the main attraction for us was the garden. If you’re going to have a formal walled garden, this is how to do it!
Further north we stayed on Achill Island and called at the Stone Age site Ceildhe Fields: not so much of a tourist hub but well worth a visit. Then inland for a while, to Boyle and Carrick-on-Shannon (memorable alone for Lena’s café) before heading back up to Donegal and one of my favourite views of all. Portnoo. You can just see our friends’ house if you look carefully…
