Atop the Hill of Slane are the ruins of a Franciscan Monastery built in 1512 by Christopher Fleming capped by the commanding belltower of Saint Patrick's Church. Legend says that St. Patrick lit a Paschal fire on this hill top in 433 CE in defiance of the High King Laoire who forbid any other fires while a festival fire was burning on the Hill of Tara.

Description
This pretty pub is situated just outside Westport town, along the old coast road to Louisburgh. It overlooks the inner most waters of Clew Bay with its many small islands and inlets visible from here. The building has a very traditional feel with its whitewashed walls and thatched roof, making it very popular with holiday makers. Croagh Patrick can be seen in the background which commands the southern shoreline of the Bay. A shebeen (Irish: sibÃn) was originally an illicit bar or club where excisable alcoholic beverages were sold without a licence.

Description
There are many great views along the road that follows the northern coast of Clew Bay but this is definitely one of the best. From here you are looking south over the bay towards Croagh Patrick. In the scene you can see how the small islands and inlets dotted around the bay form fantastic patterns. The shot was taken shortly after sunrise, when the low morning sun really brings out the detail in the landscape. The small boat in the scene is always moored in the same place, making a perfect focal point for some foreground interest.
