Brandon Point to Sauce/Sas Creek

Route: We begin and end at Brandon Point. We walk along the cliffs, with stunning views out over the Atlantic Ocean, with the Seven Hogs and Brandon Bay in view. Soon we find ourselves in a paradise – a river running down the valley with pools and a waterfall over the cliffs and out to sea. A cooling dip and cup of tea and we are on our way and soon to discover the remarkable views out over Sauce Creek.

Duration: 4 – 5 hours

History/Myth: The Irish translation of ‘Sauce’ is ‘Sas’ meaning ‘trap’. Several families lived here and would trick ships into the bay, later robbing their cargo.
