The village of Glencolmcille (or Gleanncolumbcille) and the surrounding area is famous for the Turas, a pilgrimage and round of stations (places on a route used for prayer and devotion). The Turas occurs on the 6th June each year and unless you wish to take part it is probably best to avoid coming here near to this time of year.
These stations consist of megalithic tombs, natural landscape features and cross pillars. The latter are quite spectacularly beautiful.
On this my first visit to the area I didn't get chance to visit many of the stations, but I do intend to come back when the days are longer and see them all.
