Doonamoe: The Cattle Fort, the Blowhole, and the Thin Place at the Edge of Mayo

from Whispering Stones

On the remote coast of Doonamoe, County Mayo, history, geology, and art collide. In this episode of Whispering Stones, artist and writer Bernice Cooke explores Dún na mBó, an ancient promontory fort overlooking the Atlantic, a dramatic natural blowhole carved by the sea, and a powerful contemporary sculpture marking a Celtic “thin place.” A short, atmospheric journey along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way where stones still whisper. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
