		Killary Harbour is a steep beautiful inlet, 10 miles long and 45 metres deep between County Mayo and County Galway.
		Killary Harbour was at one time believed to be one of Ireland's few fjords, but is now considered to be probably a drowned valley; it is a splendid sheltered deep-water anchorage and was, at different times, a base for the British Fleet and a refuge for German U-boats.
		The property has spectacular views in virtually any direction as the house overlooks both Killary Harbour and Leenane village with views of the Mweelrea Mountains to the north, views to the Devils Mother to the east and looking directly onto the Maumturk Mountains to the south.

	The Soil and Underlying Rocks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		In the west of Galway, notwithstanding abundant evidence of glaciation and the presence of numerous glacial deposits in the uplands as well as in the valleys, the soil has, to a very large extent, resulted from the weathering of the native rocks.
		According to the geological survey, a considerable number of glacial deposits occur between Lough Mask and Killary Harbour and over the low-lying area extending between the wide upper portion of Lough Corrib and the Atlantic, i.e., in Connemara proper.
		On the Atlantic side they all but extend to Killary Harbour in the north, and in the south they come into contact with the granitic area in Bertraghboy Bay, not far from Carna.

		Killary Harbour was gouged out by a vast glacier over 10,000 years ago, although this flooded valley is more a fjord than a harbour and extends for over 8 kilometres before reaching the open sea.
		Nowadays, the waters of Killary are dotted with mussel rafts and salmon cages as commercial fin-fish and shellfish farming provide a welcome boost to the local economy.
		Stories from more recent times relate German and British submarines finding shelter in the neutral waters of Ireland during the 2 nd World War, and stories of local fishermen sailing out to British naval vessels to register their anger by hurling stones and eggs, are only the tip of the iceberg.

		Little Killary harbour was most likely the place where Odysseus kept his ship "on the outside" (X: 95), a lovely little harbour which was easier to enter during fog, but not as safe from Atlantic westerlies as the main Killary harbour.
		The hamlet of Rosroe lies on a land spit between Little Killary and Killary, and it is from Rosroe that a very ancient road leads east.

	Been There \| Tips \| Killary Harbour
		The Killary, as it’s known to the locals is the only fjord in Ireland and was gouged out of the rock by the glaciers of the last ice-age.
		The town of Leenane is close by, where the film The Field was made, and I suspect they are still living on the merits of it.
		On the far shore, the remains of lazy beds can be seen from famine times, where potatoes were grown, their nutrition gained by the back-breaking labour of trailing seaweed from the shoreline up onto the slopes.

		Overlooking Killary Harbour, Ireland's only fjord, the Hotel enjoys what is perhaps one of the most scenic locations in Ireland.
		At any rate the popular comparison of Killary Harbour with some four syllabled Norwegian Fjord appears to be somewhat strange.

		With Return to Killary Harbour Guido van Heulendonk nimbly and ingeniously weaves several threads together, while keeping crises off the page, deliberately leaving the reader to work out what happens from the hints and clues scattered through the text, that the main character is planning a double suicide near Killary Harbour.
		A striking, recalcitrant novel de standaard As a novel, due to the rather recalcitrant, laconic and occasionally hilarious style, and the ingeniously sophisticated and challengingly fragmented composition, it is an extremely exceptional achievement.
