Brandon Creek

Brandon Creek is the alleged location from which St Brendan set sail. St Brendon is best known from the Navigation Sancti Brendani - the voyages of St Brendan. Tim Severin was so convinced by the factual aspects of the Voyages that he built his own curragh (the type of boat which was in use in the sixth century, when St Brendan was alive) and sailed to America. (See his book, The Brendan Voyage.

St Brendon allegedly started his voyage by praying on top of Mount Brandon. It is a good hike to the top.
