Amazing views from here.It is well worth the short drive from Dunfanahy to see this natural attraction. The views in all directions are amazing. The road to the head is very narrow in places and there is not much parking when you get to the top.

The Workhouse

Reviewed By 66padraigb - Galway, Ireland

While this is not an extensive or elaborate production, it is most insightful and moving. Even to think that a child alive during the potato famine could live to the ripe age of 90 and experience the events of early 20th century Ireland is incredible. On a different level it revealed the barbaric cruelty of some of the farming bosses. BTW we appreciated the Manager letting us start our tour at 4.30, even though he closed at 5pm. Well worth a visit. Padraig
