Kilpatrick Point and dunes in near the Wexford/ Wicklow border
Between Kilmichael Point and Kilpatrick Point in NE Wexford
Effects of sand dune erosion. This area had a larger pond and the rest was green grasses
and sedges only a few years ago.
Kilmichael Point in NE Wexford. Looking towards Arklow and
County Wicklow
Here is the eroding dune that was starting to fill in the pond that
we saw earlier. The grasses that you see in the foreground are essential for binding the
sands of these dunes. The damage to these grasses by Quadbiking and other such activities
are partly to blame for for this damage. I saw signs prohibiting the use of such traffic
at the entrance, but a few hundred meters further on I saw Quadbike tracks.
