Ireland 2013

(A series of posts leading up to/including The Nocturnes Photo Tour in the West of Ireland, July 15-25, 2013; with a personal Genealogical Research Extension, in and around Ballina, July 25-29 - with follow-up posts continuing here!)


Here we have a YouTube video made by David Fullagar, a participant in one of our friend Ron Rosenstock's Ireland Tours last year.


It reads like an itinerary (with some not-noted surprises!) of our upcoming October trip, and an aide-mémoire, stirring strong remembrances of earlier journeys . . .

Including:
Westport and Newport towns

Hillcrest House
Achill Island
A number of traditional Irish music sessions
Burrishoole Friary
Ross Errily Abbey
The Burren
Cong Abbey
Rossinrubble and Clew Bay
Ballintubber (Irish: Baile an Tobair) Abbey
Moore Hall
Doo Lough
Carraigahowley Castle (Irish: Carraig an Chabhlaigh)
Abandoned Slievemore (Irish: Sliabh Mór) Village
- and many more!

Here's hoping you can join us in October - details on the Strabo site.
