Apr 2017 - (with Gemma) The Great Blasket Island, the most westerly point in Europe, is the largest of a group of islands located 3 miles off the tip of the Dingle Peninsula. The islands, in particular the Great Blasket, are renowned for their wild ruggedness and beauty. The Great Blasket was inhabited by islanders until 1953, but a decline in their population caused their departure. We took a boat from Ventry to the island and enjoyed this walk along its length. The abandoned village is fascinating. Hundreds of seals on the beach, puffins, razorbills, and dolphins seen too. Phenomenal scenery.
