The Islands of Ireland: Message from Moynish More

This relatively large island in Clew Bay, Co Mayo, is the westernmost in this fascinating bay. It was the first island that shipping bound for the town of Westport would have passed.

It is best seen from atop Croagh Patrick. Only then can you fully appreciate the result of the retreating glacial field after the last ice age around 10,000 years ago that deposited these islands like bread rolls on a kitchen table. It is an extraordinary sight.
