The Spinning Wheel

This shop has been around for so very long. It’s totally aimed at tourists, there is no reason for any local to ever go near the place as there is unlikely to be anything that you would use in there unless you’re in the market for a sheep skin rug or something adorned with shamrocks.
There is a real mix of what you can buy in this shop too, i mean it does not specialise in any one product, you can get jams or glass ornaments or pottery or Aran jumpers (and anything else Aran you can think of!) and any number of things that have leprechauns or Celtic designs printed on the side.
One interesting thing about this shop is the old petrol pump outside the door, there is no petrol available in it and there has not been for years but it still stands there looking all lonely on the side of the road. It’s just nice to imagine that at some stage in its life it was used and imagine what the cars looked like then! Anyway, hopefully its never removed, its an odd bit of history for Glengarriff.
