Teave
Kiired faktid: Püha Patrick sõitis Clew Bayst mööda umbes aastal 441 pKr ja jättis väidetavalt oma jalajälje just sellele kohale kivisse. Kuju ise on 1980. aastate pronkstöö skulptor Séamus Connollylt, mis seisab vana kivi lähedal, kus pühaku jälg on endiselt nähtav.
Esiletõstmised: Vaadake tähelepanelikult kuju all olevat kivi ja näete õõnsat lohku, mida kohalikud usuvad olevat püha Patricku tegelik jalajälg 1500 aasta tagant. Igal aastal pühaku pidupäeval valavad kohalikud lohku vett ja kui see sinna jääb, toob legendi kohaselt eelseisev aasta õnne.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Visit at low tide when the surrounding salt marsh reveals shellfish beds and wading birds.
- Bring binoculars to count how many of Clew Bay's 365 islands you can spot from the statue's position.
- Weekday mornings before 10 am have the fewest visitors, giving you the footprint hollow to yourself.
- Pair this stop with a climb up Croagh Patrick 10 minutes away for the full saint's journey experience.
