'Magic on the Mullet Peninsula' - @YvGordon writes about Co Mayo's beautiful peninsula and the Inishkea islands in this weekend's @IndoWeekend... independent.ie/life/travel/i… It reminds me of @adrianweckler's glorious videos... 🙌
Anyone going to Mayo on hols, a trip to the uninhabited Inishkea Islands is well worth it. (⁦@belmulletboats⁩)
