Dun Duchathair

Reviewed By redhead_roaming - Seattle, United States

Honestly, it's quite an adventure just getting to this place! We rented mountain bikes in town and we were glad we got those versus gentle city bikes. The road that gets you closest, while it looks smooth and nice on Google Maps satellite view, is full of large rocks that would take out city bikes - there was more than one occasion I almost biffed it even with my mountain bike! While walking is certainly an option, it kinda makes sense just to get bikes for the whole day to explore the island anyway. Anyway, the path ends near the cliff side, with a lone bench. It's not America - there are no signs, no safety rails, nothing. Be safe and be informed as to where you need to go. We left our bikes there and I was really worried they would get stolen but no one touched them - thank you kind people! Walking through the limestone landscape, you have to be careful where you step, as you could easily twist an ankle if you're too busy looking around. You start to notice that the stone walls have a couple entries in them and you can follow some virtually all the way to Dun Duchathair. Once you get there, there's not much to see of the actual fort. There's no signs about not walking on the structure and you kinda have to but we tried to keep that to a minimum, to keep the integrity of the structure for years to come. We sat and enjoyed the views for a while though, especially loving waves crashing along the steep cliffs. As cool as watching the sunset would be here, I 100% do not recommend it. I can't imagine trying to navigate the cliffs or the limestone landscape in the dark. For clothing, it wasn't a terribly cold day but with the wind, it made it. We had lightweight fleece jackets, pants and good hiking shoes.

The Worm Hole (Poll na bPeist)

Reviewed By Tjorne18

In July 1971 my girlfriend and I dived into the swimming pool. We had no idea it was linked with the ocean. When we told locals, they were appalled. Inishmor 1971 was before electricity and cars. Ferry out of Galway once a week. Today’s visitors have no idea what a wonderful place it was. Tripadvisor seems not to like trips down memory lane. Hence July 2020!

Reviewed By ajcD4569XA - Olney, United States

I was so excited to find my maiden and married surnames in the Clans and ordered my Brother and husband each a blanket in their clans. I was so thrilled with them that I ordered two more for my other brothers and a poncho for my MIL to arrive before Christmas. Was so disappointed when only one throw arrived with the package and shipping clearly marked 2. I used the online chat and was not at all nice (sorry, I’m in full blown Holiday psychosis!) and they promised to ship one out the next day. Went back in to check- they were closed for the holidays! Imagine my surprise when it arrived later the next day! What kind of fairy’s do you have making deliveries! I hope the USPS hires your people- the first throw I ordered still has not arrived to my brothers 3 states away! Ugh! I can’t thank you enough! I hope someday you have our clans in the sweaters- and I will surely tell all my Mc, O’ and wanna be Irish friends about your wonderful store! Can’t wait to come in person once this stupid pandemic ends!
