Clare Island, county Mayo

Okay it was time for us to get off the mainland, so we drove up to Roonagh and took the Clew Bay Queen over to Clare Island, a large island in the mouth of Clew Bay. Theo didn't look too well on the ferry but it only took thirty-five minutes and it was a lovely sunny day when we landed.


When we got there, I wanted to do the Clew Bay Archaeological Trail to see if I could dig up some bones but Theo needed the toilet. So we did the toilet first and then walked along the coast to the Abbey where they say Grace O'Malley (who was also called Granuaille) is buried. It was very quiet over there, not many tourists, slightly off the tourist season, so we had the place to ourselves.
