Ireland 2024 – Day 10

We continued our journey north along the Atlantic coast. Through the counties of Mayo and Sligo. The first stop along the way was Downpatrick Head. Yet another impressive cliff that drops off into the Atlantic ocean.

Not kidding!
Lot’s of sea birds on the cliffs

The second stop was the Devil’s chimney in Sligo. But this was clearly the wrong season since there was no water in the waterfall. Looks cool on the internet though. Beware that there are very limited parking spaces along the road.

Dripping water, not so impressive

The next step was another waterfall that we got as a suggestion from one follower of the blog to visit. There wasn’t a lot of water, but sufficient to get an idea at least. We also had lunch at the tea house there as well.

After refueling we drove to the hotel. We’ve opted for the cheaper The Lodge @ Harvey’s Point. In the main building there are proper hotel rooms whereas the Lodge has smaller rooms and is situated a bit further away. But the whole facility is very nice, super friendly staff, clean rooms and amazing food. We had dinner in the bar, there are also fine dining in the restaurant for those that want that.

We drove approx 250 km today

Tomorrow we head into Northern Ireland.

    Hi Stefan,

    Just be careful & aware in NI as it’s “Marching Season” so care in city / large towns!
