About
With Kid Island behind them, Kathriona and Declan turn eastwards towards the walk's highest point, Benwee Head, buyt first they'll pass the forbidding heights of the Shipwreckers Cove of An Príosún which might be an unlikey spot to find contemporary art, but sitting above the dizzying drop is a sculpture commemorating the legend of the Children of Lir. Kathriona and Declan's journey began in Carrowteigue and ended 16km later in Portacloy beach.
