Evening Walk on Achill Island

A few years back, during our holiday on Achill Island, we decided to take a stroll on a beautiful evening. The warm air and clear sky set the perfect ambiance. As we walked, I noticed a sign that cautioned drivers about children playing in the area, while the Moon shone brilliantly in the evening sky.

Dugort Beach, Achill Island

Achill Island is a beautiful island off the coast of Mayo. There’s a bridge connecting the island to the mainland making it easier to get there which is great because it’s a wonderful place to visit. This is Dugort Beach in the north of the island.

The Lovely Keem Beach

The Sheep of Achill Island

The sheep on Achill Island do not fear cars driving past. They did however take exception to me walking closer to get a better photo and bolted a moment after I took this photo!
