Dun Briste at Downpatrick Head. |
|
Standing proud and alone, this magnificent sea stack is the crown of Downpatrick Head, Ballycastle, Co Mayo. |

This stunning location in North Mayo is where millions of years of geological formation meets folklore, legends, history both ancient and modern, including World War II and the birth of Christianity in Ireland.
Now a signature point on the "Wild Atlantic Way", time spent here can vary from tranquil on a calm day to ferocious wind and waves on a stormy day and a myriad of experiences in between.
