Downpatrick Head (Dun Briste) County Mayo Ireland
Фильм және анимация
DownPatrick Head is a headland between Ballycastle village and the archaeological site of Ceide Fields. It commands breathtaking views on the Atlantic, the Staggs of Broadhaven to the west and high stunning cliffs to the east. Here Saint Patrick founded a church whose ruins can be seen todays.
There are also a statue of Saint Patrick erected in the early 1980's, which replaced a previous one erected in 1912 and a small stone building, used as a lookout post during the Second World War with its stone aerial markers: EIRE 64.
'Poll na Seantainne' is a spectacular blow-hole with subterranean channel to the sea. It is well known in the local history because during the 1798 rebellion 25 men, Irishmen and French soldiers, lost their lives taking refuge on the ledge at the bottom, but unfortunately tide came in before ladders could be replaced.
From DownPatrick Head the most fantastic view is of 'Dun Briste'.
Dun Briste, (in English 'The Broken Fort'), is a sea stack close to the edge of the cliffs, which is 63 metres by 23 metres, 45 metres high and 228 metres from shore. In 1393 it was separated from the coast as a result of high seas and violent stormy weather. Old annuals said people who lived there were taken off using ships ropes.
According to an old local legend, a Druid Chieftain, named Crom Dubh, lived there. He refused to convert to Christianity, Saint Patrick struck the ground with his crozier and the stack was separated from the mainland, leaving Crom Dubh to die on the top.
On July 31st 1980, Dr. Seamus Caulfield, his father Patrick Caulfield and Martin Downes, Professor of Biology at Maynooth College, landed by helicopter on Dún Briste and discovered the ruins of two stone buildings and an interesting low opening which is supposed to allow sheep to pass from one field to another. Similar openings can be found in many places all around Mayo. They also examined the fragile plant life on the stack's top.
DownPatrick Head is one of two discovery points on the Wild Atlantic Way in Mayo and hosts the 2014 Spirit of Place, a new installation to commemorate the natural power and richly-layered historical tales of the site.

Thank you God for giving us our beautiful country of Ireland.
Marvelous shots...! This video reminds me to the boyband from Ireland, Westlife.
Gorgeous - beautifully paired with the soundtrack. Thank you for sharing this!

Thanks Laurie.
That was some beautiful gliding there with that music... Beautiful scenery and one could just imagine the souls of long ago walking those same expanses, wow! What is the music? Makes me think of Davy Spillane... Greetings from New Caledonia, SW Pacific ♥
the visuals and music are beautiful. You can feel like you are almost there and it gently puts you to sleep (in a very good way). Greetings from the US.

+NERD IT UP Thanks buddy.Its a spectacular place for sure and we waited a long time to get the weather just right. We worked hard to try and get the desired effect.Greetings to you as well from the west coast of Ireland and thanks again for the kind words.
350 millions years of geological history.
Imagine having a house there, all alone from everyone! 😍 Also wish you'd got close up shots of the surface or landed the drone on there (assuming you're allowed to). That would be insane!
Irland is beautiful! Nice shots :)

If you intend to get into planes we should definitely meet up. I am also a lone wolf and learned to fly the hard way with help from Internet and many crashes and lost planes later finally got the hang of it but am still learning. If only I had known someone at the beginning to show me the ropes I would have saved a lot of time, grief, and planes. I don't know who you are or how to get in contact with you but do you know Martin (Junior)? If so I know of you. If not I haven't got a clue. Maybe you know me if so get in contact.
