Ben Bulben is Ireland’s most distinctive mountain and known in some parts as

Strandhill is not just a beach and lovely sunsets. It also has some really
magical green areas.. Take the Glen here on the side of Knocknarae mountain. A wonderous step back in time encompassing
rock sheets formed from Ice Glaciers. Some are over a hundered feet high!!! Take a walk in the Glen, you will be
impressed. DIRECTIONS: pictures@strandhillscenes.com
