O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Sveti Patrik je proplovio pokraj zaljeva Clew oko 441. godine i navodno ostavio otisak svog stopala na stijeni upravo na ovom mjestu. Sama skulptura je brončano djelo iz 1980-ih kipara Séamusa Connollyja, smještena pokraj stare stijene na kojoj je otisak sveca još uvijek vidljiv.
Istaknuto: Pažljivo pogledajte stijenu ispod kipa i vidjet ćete udubljenje za koje mještani tvrde da je stvarni otisak stopala svetog Patrika star 1.500 godina. Svake godine na svečev blagdan mještani ulijevaju vodu u udubljenje i ako ostane, legenda kaže da će godina koja slijedi donijeti sreću.
Insajderski savjeti
- 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.
