Tully Cross is just north of Letterfrack, a Quaker established village near the entrance to the Connemara National Park. Tully Cross has many thatched cottages and from there the road leads to Killary Harbour, which looks like a fiord but may not have been glaciated. It is 16km long and over 45m deep and and mussel rafts dot the harbour, as can be seen in the photo. Also you can see the Atlantic! It was rather special to walk on the beach and realise we had reached ocean that sends us most of our weather here in Dublin. The surf wasn't that great, but the wind was strong!
