WINTER ON THE WILD ATLANTIC WAY
This week we travel around the wild and remote coast of Mayo.
Join us we continue our travels around the Wild Atlantic Way. We visit the Mullet Peninsula and go on a very windy hike along the cliffs of the Erris Head Loop. we visit some impressive landscape art and travel the very end of the peninsula to see the Black Sod Lighthouse. Turning back on ourselves we leave the peninsula and travel further south and onto Achill island. we visit the beautiful beaches of Keel and Keem. and even pluck up the courage to face the frigid December waters. We find an awesome tiny pub and an abandoned village.

Great stuff guys. I did part of that route a couple of months back. Fair dues for the icy dip. Bet it sobered you up fast😄. Mayo was the hardest hit county way back in time with the famine and emigration and that many parts never recovered as can be seen by the vast open spaces. Keem beach in Achill(pronounced Acill) is one of the most beautiful beaches in the whole country. Don't miss Dogs bay beach in Roundstone connemara(you may be past this by now). Keep up the good work.

Great video, spot on in every way. I appreciate it's a lot of work to put all this footage together, I know how much time it takes. I just got back from the hills of Glencar, and lucky enough to visit the loughs in Connemara. Doo Lough, NaFooey and the fjord that ends at Aasleagh Falls are rugged, but stunningly beautiful. Ireland has so much to offer, it's impossible to take it all in. The coastline is amazing, but inland places are equally so. Yes, weather can be bracing at time, but the changeable weather is what creates those dramatic skylines.
