Inishmore Exploration2

After yesterday's epic walk, we needed to take things a little easier today.
There was an interesting beach area - An TraMore -by the airport, an inland area dry at high tide. This would also give a chance for some beachcombing.

Taking the road outside the B&B, going back to the airport. Then heading down to the beach, just past the small ruined church and graveyard.
Tracks across the sand then into the dunes on the other side.

Around the outside of the bay is a standard beach

The end of the beach transformed into more limestone pavement, as it worked its way around another cove to the headland.
Just off the headland was a small island with the lighthouse.

On the headland was a small beach, where we stopped for a bite.
Time to move on came with the rain ... really heavy for 10 mins - enough to soak us then move on.
Back to Limestone pavement, as we headed around to the next bay - Port Daibhache

Exiting the pavement slightly before the bay as it got too broken to be fun anymore, we cut across the pebbles and the dunes. They were covered in storm debris, and this skeleton.. whale or dolphin maybe. Then back to the beach ... more stoney than the last one

Then it was back around the fields and the road towards the B&B.
By the harbour below the B&B, is the remains of a Cromwellian castle ... well one wall and a part of a tower. Castle Aircin looked more like a folly.
After a cup of tea and some biscuits then there was time for waking up the neighborhood.

We went off to the hotel down the road to the town for an early dinner, but this was full of large, vocal parties and not as restful as we would have liked.
