This is a great hike! There are many trail options. We followed the wide well maintained trail to the castle and then veered off to follow a narrower trail to another view point. We enjoyed the many spectacular views!

For some reason I resisted going to this museum for several years because it sounded depressing. When I finally went I was surprised to become really involved with the sad story told here. Don't miss the short film to begin your visit - it tells the history of the famine and gives you a basis for understanding the exhibits, which include many impressive paintings and sculptures. The sculptures carved from ancient bogwood are particularly powerful and moving. Definitely worth a visit, and it's free!
