Did you know County Leitrim has its own coastline? It is the shortest coastline of any county in Ireland but it is one of the most stunning in my opinion, unspoilt and natural. It forms part of the Wild Atlantic Way and has some of the best surfing in Ireland. I always love the seaside, the sea air always does good for the body and soul.

As a follow on to my post on Palma de Mallorca, the next stop on our holidays was the
city of Marseille in southern France. I have visited the south of France before taking in Monaco, Nice and Cannes so it was nice to explore further along the coastline. Marseille is France's oldest city and as a result it is steeped in history. The weather was lovely when we visited and we spent a lot of our time around the lively Vieux Port (Old Port).

Yet again last weekend I was out and about discovering more of the Wild Atlantic Way. This time I visited Mullaghmore in County Sligo which is just a few miles by car from Bundoran. The weather was showery so apologies some of the photographs are a bit dull. Mullaghmore is a nice quaint village with a lovely looped walk out along Mullaghmore Head. There are great views along the coastline. I really enjoyed it and hope to go back soon.

Below, from top left: Some sheep really enjoy the green pastures along the coast with a yacht sailing by, Classiebawn Castle former home to Lord Mountbatten who spent his summer here until his death, Eithnna's By the Sea an award winning restaurant- love the eyecatching colours and finally some sheep hanging around.

All the above photographs are of the harbour area. The Wild Atlantic Way and the stretch of coastline around Mullaghmore is really worth a visit.
