  • Very interesting, with informative site boards that gave a real feel for the place. Well worth a visit if you have time - allow 2 hours for the 3 mile walk around the site. Connemara ponies a bonus.....  more

  • Visited here on a rainy day so couldn't see everything. But they have this small stations with writings and pre-recorded audio clips. There is first trans-atlantic airplane crash site too. Must go place. It's a walking trail but you can drive upto that place and park your car. I would suggest walking though.
  • A fascinating place if you're in any way interested in the achievements of pioneers. This site is very well managed with plently of useful information panels. It all helps to transport you back in time ... or at least to imagine what it was like in it's heyday.
  • Unique experience only a 5k walk push chair friendly and interesting history
  • Great place for a walk full of history
  • Nice walk through the bog! Informative, nice info panels - great to see/read what it needed to send the first signals across the Atlantic.... 73, HB9DHT, -.-
