Beyond the West Coast of Ireland lies the Great Blasket Island. Beautiful, desolate and surrounded by wild seas, it was once home to a small but fiercely independent community of people whose medieval way of life had long vanished from the Irish mainland. By November 1953 the island had been abandoned forever.
