The Doolough Famine Memorial is a simple stone cross in the stunning Doolough Pass, marking the tragic Doolough Tragedy of 1849 during the Great Famine. Over 400 starving people walked for miles in harsh conditions to seek relief, with many perishing along the way. It serves as a somber reminder of one of the darkest events in Irish history. This poignant site is just steps from a Wild Atlantic Way Discovery Point.
