Rocky VI - Slight Return

Today, we return briefly to our 'Rocky' series for this view from the beautiful Kilpatrick Sandhills near Kilmichael, County Wicklow.

Kilmichael View

Today, Saturday, is panoramic day and this week it's the view north at beautiful Kilmichael, County Wicklow.

A Serious Business

On a recent trip south to the Wicklow/Wexford border, we spotted these happy snappers who had managed to clamber down, with all their gear, to an ideal position on the spectacular rocks at Kilpatrick Sandhills. Serious business this photography!

Kilpatrick Sandhills

Today we're in Kilmichael, on the Wicklow/Wexford border to visit Kilpatrick Sandhills, a protected area of sand dunes stretching 2 kms from Kilmichael Point (North) to Kilpatrick (South).  The coastal area stretching south from Kilmichael Beach is spectacularly wild and beautiful as we navigate through the dunes.

Dune Walking

We're on the coast at the most southerly point of our little realm - the Wicklow/Wexford border - and today it's a stroll around the Kilpatrick Sandhills, a protected area of sand dunes stretching 2 kms from Kilmichael Point (North) to Kilpatrick (South).

This is a bit off the beaten track but it's an area of outstanding natural beauty consisting of a mosaic of coastal habitats and mature sand dunes and definitely worth a visit or two.
