The Great Blasket Island – the most westerly point in Europe – is the largest Island of an archipelago of islands located 3 miles off the tip of the Dingle Peninsula. The Great Blasket once had a thriving population of inhabitants but in January of 1954 the remaining O'Sullivan family abandoned the Island due to a child contracting meningitis and dying. Many stories and literature have been famously published since this time generating a new found interest in this special area. Since 1954 the Great Blasket Island has been derelict with only visitors coming to a from the Island. In the past few years a number of the houses have been restored and amenities such as overnight accommodation and coffee shop are provided for visitors to the island.
This deserted island is stunningly beautiful but thee less.Story has it , that a poster of a tree hung on the wall of the school (which was open from 1864 to 1941) for the information of pupils who had never seen one in real life. The island's claim to fame is it's literary history ,it had remarkable literary output including Tomas Ó Criomhthain's An t-Oileanach and Muiris O' Súilleabháin's Fiche Blian ag Fás and of course Peig Sayer's autobiography Peig.

A scenic stretch of land surrounded by rugged coastline.
Talk about 'WOW'! The drive up heading north/south was steady and pleasant and then we got to the pass itself which is indeed narrow and right on the cliff edge! My friend who was driving loved it and the challenge - I just looked right away from the sheer drop alongside us! Completely worth it though of course because as soon as we reached the car park at the summit of the road path, the views back across the valley were quite simply breathtaking! Then a pleasantly steady descent down into Dingle to steady the nerves!!

Our family of 4 started our Mount Brandon hike from the Baile Breac car park on a rainy day in July 2019. I'll say right away, that we did not reach the summit. I was disappointed, but I didn't want to push my family on if they were not feeling the hike that day. This was our 7th day in Ireland, with everyday being almost constant rain, and our 5th hike. We had hiked a little over an hour, had passed several crosses, when someone suggested maybe we had gone far enough. Knowing the best thing to do, always, is to not be control, I agreed with the decision to turn around. I've got to say though, the summit of Mount Brandon is still calling to me. :) Nevertheless, this is a beautiful hike through sheep fields, sometimes seemingly straight up vertically, with amazing views of the coastline. It was a cloudy day, so our views were constantly changing with the passing clouds and fleeting rays of sunlight. A magical pilgrimage trail, worth everyone's visit, no matter how far up you hike.
