Local Style Ireland - Surf and Music in Strandhill
Strandhill is on the west coast of Ireland with a population of 1,500 people and has one of the most consistent beach breaks in the country... But what make Strandhill the coolest little surf town, is the music. It attracts the finest musicians from around the country and when you couple waves with pubs and music, the combination as our Irish friends say... is “deadly”.

5 Common (Harbour) seals are released back to the sea after being rehabilitated by the Irish Seal Sanctuary at their centres in Courtown, Co Wexford and Dingle, Co, Kerry. The video shows the 700 members of the public, numerous volunteers and animal rehabilitators who walked down to the sea as the 5 boxes containing the seals were opened.
The video also shows Brendan Price, founder of the Irish Seal Sanctuary, speaking to the crowd making sure that young and old all enjoyed their day.

Wild Atlantic Way Road Trip Vlog Series - Sligo town & Strandhill
Wild Atlantic Way Road Trip Vlog Series - Sligo town & Strandhill
In this episode we continue our journey south along the Wild Atlantic Way. We leave Rosses Point following the shanty festival and arrive in Strandhill.
Strandhill is had a nice seafront with a few nice pubs and restaurants. The waves were bigger than we had seen and we watched surfers taking advantage.
We headed into Sligo Town and managed to find a great wifi sim card deal from Three - forjust 20 euros we got unlimited data for a month - that really helps with uploading the youtube videos.
We met up with a lovely lady called Mary and her husband Dave and we stayed and had dinner with them and their children. We have met some really great people on our travels.
The Wild Atlantic Way is one of the longest designated coastal road trips in the world at over 2,500 km long. Our road trip of the Wild Atlantic Way started at the most Northern Point of Ireland - Malin Head and finished all the way at the bottom in the town of Kinsale.
The Wild Atlantic way is a road trip of a lifetime and that’s why we just had to do it and produce a travel series of vlogs of our experiences along this magical road. We saw beautiful and dramatic cliffs, stunning beaches, the best sunsets, met lots of lovely people, sung at a shanty festival and saw Ireland at it’s best. If you come to Ireland you must visit the Wild Atlantic Way - even if you can’t do the complete road trip just go and do part of it - absolutely awesome and what a road trip to start off our never ending journey around the Globe.
We hope you enjoy this episode of our Wild Atlantic Way Road Trip Vlog Series.

ABOUT ME:
My name is Jackie.
We bought a derelict cottage in 2014 and eventually moved to the Republic of Ireland from the UK in 2016.
We had previously lived in social housing so it was a very exciting time for us.
We gradually renovated the cottage and made it home.
I live here in County Mayo with Helen, two donkeys, four dogs, chickens.
We have 1.2 acres to take care of, can you imagine what that land looked like when nobody had lived in the cottage for 10 years, that's when I decided I wanted to document life here, so then came Youtube.

#StrandhillMoments - Heritage moments in Strandhill, Co.Sligo
Just in time for Heritage Week, we are delighted to launch the final video in our #StrandhillMoments series. This one celebrates the abundance of in history and heritage here on the Strandhill Coolera peninsula.
Video captured and edited by Peter Clyne of Outer Cells Media.
Concept, marketing and script by Bua Starling.
Creative by Allan Mulrooney of GoStrandhill.
Carrowmore Megalithic Site
Carrowmore is the largest group of megaliths in the country and the second largest in Europe, making it a must-see when visiting the Strandhill/Coolera area. For Heritage Week, don’t miss Music at the Megaliths on Sunday 25th August from 10.30am - 4.30pm. More info:
Killaspugbrone
The ruins of this ancient church stand on the extremity of the Coolera peninsula and the name in Irish means “the church of the Bishop Brón”. Killaspugbrone church dates back to the period between 1150 and 1220, but the original structure was reputedly built sometime in the fifth century.
Its former name “Caisle-Irrae” suggests it was most likely enclosed by a circular stone fort or cashel – typical of an early Irish monastic settlement. Follow the Killaspugbrone Looped Walk Trail which will bring you past the Church. More info:
Queen Maeve’s Trail, Knocknarea
This relatively new walking trail takes walkers up the northern slopes of Knocknarea, past Megalithic and Bronze Age remains, and the cairn where it is believed Queen Maeve is buried, on through Coillte forests along a raised boardwalk or ‘bog bridge’ to the summit. Along the route are abandoned and derelict stone cottages, with stories to tell. On a clear day, from the summit you can enjoy wider views stretching as far as Nephin in Mayo and Slieve League sea cliffs in Donegal.
Dolly’s Cottage
Dolly’s Cottage was erected around the year 1800 and has survived without alteration to this day. When the late Dolly Higgins died in 1970, the Strandhill Guild of the Irish Countrywomens’ Association bought her thatched cottage in order to maintain it in its original state. By 19th century standards in the west of Ireland, this was a luxury cottage. It was built of stone (not mud), with a proper chimney and fireplace (not a hole in the roof to let out smoke from a fire in the middle of the floor). It has two rooms and the old pouch bed is still in the chimney corner. The walls, roof, fireplace and loft beams are still the originals. Check out the Warrior Scarecrow Festival taking place for Heritage Week.

Cummeens Strand and Coney Island
Cummeen Strand is the wide sandy tidal plain on your right as you travel from Sligo to Strandhill. Residents who frequent this route from town to the village are blessed to be presented each trip with such a stunning vista: the roadside giving way in an instant to a wide breadth of land and sea and harbour, Coney Island the idyllic object of the scene and the painter’s inspiration of Rosses Point glinting with its seaside charm in the morning sun, or hazy sunset, or at night the orange lights shining over Cummeen Strand giving the appearance of a huge ship parked in Sligo bay.
Cummeen Strand was immortalised by the poet W.B Yeats in his poem Red Hanrahan’s Song about Ireland with the lines:
‘The old brown thorn-trees break in two high above Cummeen Strand
Under a bitter black wind that blows from the left hand.’
The Cummeen tidal strand is divided in two by fourteen stout cut stone pillars.
This part of Cummeen is called Dorrin’s Strand after William Dorrin, the owner of Coney Island in the 1820s. He was drowned by the fast rush of the incoming tide while returning to the Island along the strand in March 1823. Provided the tide is low, the fourteen pillars guide travellers by the safest route the one and a half kilometres to Coney. It is always of the utmost importance a visitor to Coney checks tide times before departure.
