Informations supplémentaires

Aerial View of Clifden Town with the very distant 12 Pins Mountain Range in Connemara, County Galway, Ireland. Founded in 1812 by John D'Arcy, a member of the powerful Tribes of Galway, Clifden has had a chequered history. During the Great Famine the town was full of starving people who suffered a cholera outbreak that reached epidemic proportions in 1849. It saw fame with the arrival of the first transatlantic flight by John Alcock and Arthur Brown on 15 June 1919. Then on St Patrick’s Day 1921, Black and Tans burned houses and shot two civilians in retaliation for the death of two policemen in an ambush by the IRA during the War of Independence. A couple of years later, a ten-hour battle was fought in the streets between opposing sides in the Civil War.
