Ardmore Cliff Walk

 Ardmore Cliff Walk

(pics taken on a sunny September day, last Thursday 29th)

You'll see this early 19th signal station (one over 80 built around the Irish coast)
for much of the walk.

You pass the Cliff House Hotel on your way to start the walk.
You may also start by the Round Tower.

Hotel (top left) and village below.

As you "climb" up towards hotel, take a look back towards the village and beach

Having passed the hotel, this path starts you on the walk

St Declan's Hermitage.

Here we go... on a sunny day

Cliffs and the wreck of the Samson from 1987

Pathway between carrots and parsnips takes you
in to signal tower where you can climb the outside steps
for even betters views. You can also see the tower at
Knockadoon, the next to the west.

Above and below: the wall of the ruined church in the graveyard.
This is the finish or start (if you prefer) of the walk)

The round tower overlooks the bay.
Didn't keep track of the time but the walk didn't take much more than an hour, if that.
And  the photos took a fair bit of that time. What I am sure about is that the trip back
from the village to Mayfield took 50 minutes.
