Dún Briste (Gaelic for Broken Fort) Down Patrick Head, was once joined to the mainland. The sea stack stands 45 metres (150 feet) tall. An astonishing sea stack that’s lashed by foaming sea, Dun Briste is Mayo’s top natural sight. Legend attests that St Patrick drove all the vipers from Ireland onto the stack on Downpatrick Head, leaving the mainland snake-free.

Dún Briste and Downpatrick Head

The majestic cliffs of Downpatrick head were formed some 350 million years ago. From this viewing point you will overlook the famed sea stack of Dún Briste, standing defiantly against the North Atlantic tempest. Poll na Seantinne, the 100 foot deep blowhole and subterranean channel at Downpatrick Head has a rich and tragic history. The blowhole has been transformed into a spectacular viewing attraction where the crashing waves can be safely observed from the viewing platform.
