An unexpected pleasure to talk to the very well formed staff member and get some beautifully illustrated booklets and brochures about the local area. I am hoping to enlighten some friends in England as Tom the attractions of Northern Ireland!

My wife and I stumbled upon this shop on the far right side as you head toward the harbor. The items in the store, jewelry and art were done locally and were wonderful. We bought a nice little fairy house
