'Bád Eddie', Bunbeg

Dist:0.3km
The wreck of the 'Cara Na Mara', on Bunbeg's Magheraclogher beach, in Gaoth Dobhair (Gweedore). Built in France, the boat was bought by local fisherman Eddie Gillespie but washed ashore in the 1970s and has become a popular stopping point for tourists along the Wild Atlantic Way. It is now affectionately known as 'Bád Eddie' (not a nickname, the Irish for boat is bád). See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-foyle-west-54016000 for further information. Errigal is seen beyond [[1459273]].
