Eily’s Report – 3rd August
Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a chairde, and welcome to my weekly report.
Fondest greetings everyone and welcome to the Month of August. I’m feeling tired today following a busy bank holiday weekend. The beauty of Beara never fails to draw my away at the least excuse and the past weekend was no exception. I know that Ireland is full of similar beautiful attractions, but I have no family connection with them and I know that if people who go there were to give a written account of their travels then mine would be only just another item on the list. Since the opening up of the Wild Atlantic Way some of the hidden gems which were inaccessible in the past are now being presented in their best light to the visitor. Winding little boreens which were just sheep paths initially were upgraded to allow tour buses campers and cars to reach the outer limits and they didn’t take all the turns away either but left them there to further enhance to journey. Travelling those bends ,opens up new scenery all the time , the sea, the rocks ,the sky providing an ever changing view as you go. Scenic cross country walks have also been established for the more energetic. It didn’t take enterprising people long to recognise the potential of meeting this new development head-on by opening up hospitality services in places never before even considered for the purpose.
