About
A working family farm opens its 180-foot sea cliffs to walkers on the Wild Atlantic Way, with a sea stack, an Iron Age cliff fort and a fraction of the crowds at the Cliffs of Moher.
Things to Do
Explore the Iron Age promontory fort
An Iron Age dún sits right on the cliff edge, with sheer drops into the sea on three sides, and now doubles as a viewing point and picnic area looking along the prehistoric route from Beale to Ballyheigue.
The Devil's Castle and the sea caves
Winter storms and Atlantic waves have carved deep caves, arches and the lonesome Devil's Castle sea stack from the flagstone layers. Information plaques at each viewing point explain the geology and the stories.
Watch the wildlife
Falcons, ravens, fulmars, guillemots, cormorants and rock doves nest in the crevices, with a fox den around 80 feet below the top, while Atlantic grey seals, bottlenose dolphins and the occasional sea otter patrol the water. Landowner Mike, his dog and Bart the horse are often about.
Wildflowers and big Atlantic views
The ungrazed, salt-tolerant cliff top is in full bloom in early summer with sea pinks, kidney vetch, sheep's-bit, sea asters and orchids, alive with butterflies and wild honey bees. It is part of the Lower Shannon Special Area of Conservation.
Guided walks and the Hay and Tae Day
Mike or Danny will accompany groups of up to 12 for a guided walk covering the history, legends and wildlife, ideally booked a week ahead by phone or email. The farm also stages a traditional Hay and Tae Day in late July or August.
