Lagg beach/ Five FingerStrand in Donegal has some

Lagg beach/ Five FingerStrand in Donegal has some of the highest sand dunes in Europe. Although each winter, they are being eroded away.

They are up to 30 metres high and evolved over thousands of years, held together by the marram grass that grows along the top.

It is a beautiful beach for a walk, with views across the stunning Trawbreaga Bay.

The name Five Finger Strand comes from five narrow sea stacks that come out from the water on the north side of the beach.

If you continue on the road up, there is an incredible viewpoint looking down on the Bay. Well worth visiting the point. You'll get the views of Donegal that you're after there :)

Can you make out the picture in the glass? 😊

While the name Derrigimlagh Bog sounds like any ordinary blanket bog, this place witnessed two significant events in international travel and communications.

In the bog, there is a 5km looped trail which takes you around an interactive exhibits to learn more about the history.

The world’s first permanent transatlantic radio station was established here in 1907 - where first commercial transatlantic message was transmitted to Canada. Sadly most of the station was destroyed in the war for independence.

Then in 1919, it was the crash-landing site for the first non-stop flight across the Atlantic. John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown set off from Canada 16 hours previously and were uninjured in the crash.

So what seems like an ordinary bog is steeped in history. It's also a Wild Atlantic Way signature point so be sure to stop off if you're near Clifden!

Now I know most of us started an Instagram account

Now I know most of us started an Instagram account back in the day just because it was a new app. And I was definitely one of those.

But Tinyboots_travels was born from an overwhelming fear of flying!

My first flight was at 7 weeks old, and I continued to fly almost every year until my teens. Once I was the age where I was actually aware of what flying meant, I became more and more uncomfortable with it.

Each year it grew worse until the point where I would be physically sick before a flight, and I would sit in the airport trembling, on the plane crying and paralized by fear, counting down the minutes until landing time. It was a painful experience!

After a traumatising flight from New York to Dublin during a mild hurricane (it didn’t feel mild 30,000 feet in the air) and a 4 ½ hour stint of constant turbulence and seatbelt signs, I stood off that plane and decided I would not step foot on one again.

The thing about that is, you start to feel like you’re missing out on a lot, when your friends and family members are going on trips, sun holidays, weekend breaks, but I just couldn’t put myself through it again.

Luckily I love Ireland and for my entire childhood, time was spent driving around the country - mostly to stand on the side of the road at Rallies. But I saw a lot of the country none the less.

So once I had a car I decided, if I couldn’t see much of the world, I’d just have to see every inch of Ireland.

Me and my friends would hop in the car on our days off and pick a new place to visit and I’d snap away with the camera on my iPod touch. I became more and more interested in photography and finally went for it with my first proper camera - the NikonD3300.

And so that was how this account was born. A way to show off all my images of Ireland.

The waters of the West Coast give me life!

But most people crave the ocean.

We evolved from it, so I guess it makes sense. We also live off it, are made up of a lot of it and need it to survive, but there is something else that makes the ocean special to us.

We’ve all arrived at a beach to feel an immediate calming in our bodies. Scientists have been delving into our minds to try and explain this feeling.

There is a complex theory is that our brains can ‘tune in’ to the frequencies of the ocean waves and this can change the patterns of our brainwaves. This puts us in a crazy meditative state that can heal and revitalize. There are multiple studies that show significant drops in stress hormones when exposed to the sounds of the sea.

So it’s not just a feeling, it’s SCIENCE! With Mental Health Day around the corner, why not visit the ocean to experience some blissful “Blue Mind!”

Throwback to enjoying the last of the Summer Sun!

Now, lets celebrate as the leaves fade to the crunchiest and richest shades of gold, red and rust while the air feels like a cool calming hug 🍂🍂

Visiting Galway?

Be sure to visit Menlo Castle, a stunning 16th Century castle along the edge of the River Corrib. This magical place is just 10 minutes drive from the city centre and is walking distance if you really want to get some steps in!

You can go right up to and inside the castle - although if you do that, be very careful. It’s free to visit but please, PLEASE respect the area.

Sunset is your best time to stop by as the castle is bathed in golden light, such a dream!

Love an aul sunset :)

Even if it's just a sneak peek at the last bit of sun light peering briefly from beneath the clouds

This was taken on a new years day at Malin Head.

Can you remember the best sunset you've ever seen?

🌘My new favorite time to go for a dip - right under the moonlight 🌒

One thing I am super grateful for over the last 12 months, is discovering the calmness that is being hugged by the sea. The colder the better!

Who else has taken to the sea this year? 🌊

Been trying to get out and about more again and I’d highly recommend walking part of the Western Way hiking trail which passes from Galway, all the way through Mayo to Sligo. This part of the trail is near Derryclare lough and the views are just 👌

I'm definitely not up to walking the full 180 km, id be dying after a few 😅. But maybe you are?! 👣
