Blanket bog, a stunning mosaic of tiny lakes and peat, where you can stop and view two sites of international historical significance. First, you’ll pass the scattered remnants of the world’s first permanent transatlantic radio station, built more than a century ago by Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi and transmitted the first transatlantic radio signal in 1907. It burned to the ground during the Irish War of Independence, but you can still view the vast site. you’ll also come across a white memorial in the shape of an airplane wing, tribute to Alcock and Brown, the first pilots to fly non-stop across the Atlantic, before they crash-landed (safely) in Derrigimlagh Bog in 1907.

Super audio visual walk around where Alcock and Brown landed and the Marconi site was located way back 100 years ago when modern communications were getting going. fantastic walk and super educational. Bike and dog friendly area,
