What travelers are saying

well worth taking the trip to see Black Sod and the scenery is beautiful with Achill Island across the bay with the sun shining on it, also all the beaches that you see around the peninsula.

Beautiful scenery.

The road to the northern part of the island provides some stunning views of the coast and is well worth a visit on a sunny day.

Would this building be the rear view of the building Capt. Mutton , myself and the two lighthouse keepers would have gone to after landing helicopter which had engine trouble in August 1977 and where Tim Sweeney looked after us so well. Would the front of Building be close to shoreline and facing Achill and particularly Dugort. I remember being able to look across and see the Strand Hotel where I was staying and being told by Tim Sweeney that it was a 50 miles journey by road and me now on foot at 8.30 am looking the worst for wear as late nights in Achill were the norm back then. The journey back I could only describe as excilerating and hilarious
