Downpatrick Head is a place of spectacular scenic and geological importance. One of the noted locations on the West of Ireland's world renowned "Wild Atlantic Way". A tourist location not to be missed if you are in the area of north Mayo. The sea stack is one of the most photographed cliff areas in Ireland. A note of caution should be stated as the cliffs are extremely high with no barrier protection to preserve the natural views. View with extreme caution especially in windy conditions. Children should be held on to at all times. No dogs allowed. The site can be viewed during daylight hours.
We travelled to Ireland in May and prior to leaving Sligo, enquired at the Tourist Office about sights to see on the next leg of our journey to WESTPORT. The helpful lady recommended Downpatrick Head as a must see and one of her favourite places along the coast. We were not disappointed......there were few people for a start, the weather was perfect and the scenery breathless including the undulating soft green grassy mounds splattered with beautiful pink wildflowers on the headland. Dun Briste sea stack was majestic as were the Cliffs, providing nesting sites for the many sea birds. This would have to be one of the highlights of our 18 day self tour around Ireland and is highly recommended. The trip via The Wild Atlantic Way was indeed memorable and well worth the detour to this incredibly special place.
