The Gallarus Oratory on the Dingle Peninsula, ancient customs on an ancient site, connecting us from modern times into a landscape of faith and contemplation.
The iconic St Brigid’s Cross, woven from the traditional rushes. A symbol of protection still seen in many households. See how it’s made.
Landscapes with names originating thousands of years ago, places with stories, connecting people with faraway lands.
There are still thousands of castles in Ireland, each with a history from times of invasion and conflict to their modern day uses.
The Kilnasaggart Stone is the oldest accurately dated standing stone in the country, covered with symbols of those associated with the place.
The Viking connection with Ireland is one which has changed in living memory. Visit some of the placenames which survive from their time and maybe meet some of the people whose family names are derived from the Vikings. Now, where did I put that DNA??

I have been collecting oral history and anecdotes from Cape Clear Island for the past 40 years and can provide an interesting walking tour ( or bus/car tour for smaller groups) anywhere on the Island. I like responding to questions as they usually bring up interesting stories from our rich Island history which also has various deep connections with far flung parts of the Globe. I am an O'Drisceoil, sharing the main Island surname from the ancient O'Driscoll Clan which ruled these parts for 600 years or so. I am deeply involved in INIS, Cape Clear Island & Fastnet Heritage Center. I am a regular guide with visiting bus tours and also play Irish traditional music regularly with the locals. I am a fluent daily Irish speaker, with a good knowledge of the more famous publications from the Island and regularly publish heritage themed articles on local websites and social media. I am a competent Spanish Speaker and not far off in French. My other local interests include small farming, tree planting, kayaking and supervision of the Island walking trails. I am also a founder of the local Island Distillery and can provide gin tastings for groups of 10 +. These involved the 3 different local gins, Classic, Aged and Lavender.
