The Erris Head Loop walk: Danish Cellar

The Erris Head Loop walk: Danish Cellar
Our first full day in this Irish County Mayo area of Belmullet takes us onto a fascinating coastal walk of around 5-7km. It starts from a carpark in a little cove intriguingly called 'Danish Cellar' about 15 minutes drive from our cottage. There is ample evidence of modern concrete ramps and steps built into the steep rocks to the water but I can find no more information regarding the history of this cove. This area did have a lot of Whaling stations in the old days and so I think it may have something to do with that. Notice the old rusty winch on the bottom left here. As all this area was invaded and occupied by the Vikings there are many references to the Scandinavian countries.

Our path will take us up along the fence on the top of these steep headlands and reward us with some spectacular sights.

ps - a great change from the UK is that we found that almost every country car-park was cost free.

Best full screen.

I have never been lucky enough to visit Ireland Herb but this is just how I imagine it to be. A beautiful series of images here. The free car parking reminds me of Scotland, although I believe the popular places are beginning to charge, notably the Quiraing. On our last visit you could not even stop for a quick photo without being chased by a parkie!

Well captured. Have a good Sunday
