Last week I shared a glimpse of Lord Mountbatten's castle. This week we travel to Mullaghmore, a short drive down the road, ang catch a glimpse of the harbor where Mountbatten's fishing boat was destroyed by an IRA bomb as he left port. Mountbatten, his grandson, and a village boy were killed and four others were seriously injured. The event is considered to be a turning point in The Troubles.
Just opposite the harbor where Mountbatten met his end is a shot where they prepare the most amazing ice cream I've ever had. We simply couldn't resist!

Thank you for sharing this important piece of history. The ice cream looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely like to try one of those ice cream slushies, beautiful scenery too.
