I decided to put this cache here while staying in Spiddal for a few days. Enjoy a nice breakfast roll and stroll along the path to find this geocache.
History of Spiddal:
Spiddal, like much of the west of Ireland, suffered greatly during the Great Famine, with many people being evicted and many people starving. Appeals were made by the parish priest John O'Grady and by A.W. Blake. As a result, the board of works employed some local men in the improvements to the harbour in Spiddal.7]
From 1848, the evangelical Protestant Irish Church Missions were active, establishing the Connemara Orphan's Nursery (Spiddal Orphanage or Nead Le Farrige) in the early 1850s,
[9] the home could accommodate up to 90 boys and girls, and became affiliated to the Protestant-run Smyly Homes (and was even referred to as The Bird's Nest, the name of the Dublin home).[10] Following its closure as an orphanage, it became a secondary school for girls run by the Catholic Sisters of Mercy.
The local Catholic church, Cill Éinde (church of Enda), was built in 1904.[4][11] The ruin of an older chapel, dating to 1776, is nearby.[12]
