You'd love Achill Island, Dave. It's mostly abandoned now, with high sea cliffs in one area, a gentle cove in another, and hills all in between. I'll have to go home and upload photos from the trip to the LJ. I'll be happy to share the place with you, as long as there's enough room for us all...;-) :-P

There was even a decent little pub in the middle of the island. Had a good cuppa tea and a bowl of soup.

I know! You can have the abandoned castle on the western side of Achill. Just the thing for a writer who needs a bit of privacy sometimes. ;-)
