Teave
Kiired faktid: Soolane merevesi seguneb värske mägede sulaveega selles töötavas sadamas, kus kalurid laevad oma päevasaagi ikka käsitsi maha. Muul asub Euroopa pikima ja sirgeima puudega ääristatud avenüü lõpus, ühendades sadama otse linna georgia-aegse südamega.
Esiletõstmised: Mõõna ajal paljandub merepõhjas üle 5000 aasta turbas säilinud iidsete tammepuude skelett, ürgne mets, mis kunagi ulatus üle kogu Clew Bay. Kohalikud teavad, et tasub kohale jõuda päikesetõusuks, et näha, kuidas valgus langeb Clew Bay 365 saarele, kohaliku pärimuse järgi üks iga aastapäeva kohta, kusjuures taustaks on Croagh Patricku kooniline tipp.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Skip the main car park by the quay and park at the Octagon car park in town for free, then walk the Mall, the leafy avenue lined with 200-year-old trees.
- Bring binoculars for spotting seabirds and seals that often bob around the harbour mouth.
- The Matt Molloy pub, owned by the Chieftains' flautist, has live traditional music sessions starting around 9pm most nights just steps from the water.
- Wear sturdy shoes if you plan to walk out on the Quay Wall at low tide, the surface is uneven and can be slippery with seaweed.
