The west coast of Ireland (County Mayo) really is home to some amazing landscapes and locations that seemingly blend together in a strange kind of way, and create something well and truly special, but there is one place in County Mayo, along The Wild Atlantic Way, that the first time I had visited this location I was taken away with - that was a couple of years ago and that was when I had visited on a Coach Trip, that place is simply known as,
"Achill Island."
And of course it is an island that really feels a million miles away from the rest of the rushes of the world, even with the recent rise in popularity thanks to the recent film The Banshees of Inisherin, Achill Island still seems untouched, rugged and mysterious plus of course harsh, and that harshness takes you back through history to a time when life on Achill Island would have been tough. Now though the harshness can still be felt, but it is a little bit more forgiving, but after a delightful lunch at The Beehive Coffee Shop/Café on Achill Island the coast road beckoned to the metaphorical "end of the world." And that location of course just happened to be Keem Bay, a location made more famous by The Banshees of Inisherin, of course though despite its popularity, when I had arrived, I was met by a location that was busy, but also had space, and that was just magical, and of course I just had to send the drone up, I only captured the following photos, but they do show the beauty of this truly beautiful part of Ireland, and of course Achill Island.
