This wild headland on the north Mayo coast is not what one would call a “nice” place. And, as if to mirror an unsettling psychic aura, it presents an equally unsettling physical space, one of wild, raw sea energy, dizzying drops and chaotically shattered stone. Even the name of the broken sea stack, Dún Briste, the star attraction of any visit, evokes violence and catastrophe. But for all that, this is a place of unmatched elemental beauty, and is a must-see attraction on our Wild Atlantic Way. Then it was back to wonderful Mount Falcon Hotel, a quick change and the different world of my godson’s wedding.
