Danzig a Lavender Adventure
Visitors to Cape Clear Island will find a new Lavender attraction well worth a visit. Its found in an iconic building known locally as Danzig and located at the top of Leaca Joan. This is the less steep of the the two roads rising from the Island’s main harbor. Its kind of hard to miss because the Irish flag proudly flies nearby.
A loving restoration – Athchóiriú iontach
Last year we covered how this building was lovingly restored. And now, resplendent in lavender furnishings and fittings its open for business.
An Impressive Display – Taispeántas den scoth

Alcohol products are normally sold in the Island Craft shop, recently remodeled and which also boasts another great display of local products.
