Derrygimlagh peat bog

If you like unusual places, then the Derrygimalagh peat bog is the place for you! This Connemara peat bog is far from ordinary: it's also the site of a great historical achievement! It was here that John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brow landed, making the first non-stop transatlantic flight in history! It was then June 15, 1919... <a href="https://www.go-to-ireland.com/what-to-see/derrygimlagh-peat-bog/">[...]</a>
