Restaurant Review - Blackrock Cottage
Wednesday 15 March 2023
Needless to say, as I was almost blown away while taking pictures of the iconic Blackrock Diving Tower at Salthill in Galway, there was a hardy swimmer braving the elements, diving into the icy waves.
“There’s always one,” remarked a passerby. The diving tower here is a really special place — it’s one of the most photographed landmarks in Galway. Blackrock was a men-only bathing spot up to the 1970s, when the cailíní álainn of Connacht finally said, ‘enough now, lads’.
