Landslide at Sauce Creek

by aidand 13 Aug 2012 In June 2012 there were reports in the national newspapers of a major landslide near Sauce Creek. The landslide was much less dramatic than the press reports. To view the landslide follow the cliff top along from the creek towards Brandon Point for about 400m. The landslide was about 30 metres wide and 250 m high. It is not visible from the waymarked route.

Sauce Creek is well worth visiting, You can follow the waymarked route - red markers 'Suilóid a tSáis') from the carpark at Brandon Point. Allow about 4 hours for a fine walk out along a dramatic bit of coastline and back by some quiet country roads.
