Alcock and Brown Landing Site

Alcock and Brown Landing Site: Historic Crash Site in Bogland

5.0 (16)

Don't expect a polished museum; it is just a lonely stone monument in the middle of a windy Galway bog. It marks where two pilots crash-landed the first non-stop transatlantic flight in 1919. Spend 30 minutes walking the loop path to see the peat landscape. Bring legit waterproof boots, because the ground is basically a sponge. It is weirdly quiet and totally worth the stop if you enjoy desolate history and cold, crisp air.

Address: Marconi St., Derrigimlagh, Ireland
