Inis Mor, The Aran Islands

On the Map: The Aran Islands lie off Ireland’s beautiful Atlantic coast, west of counties Clare and Galway. The three islands - Inis Mor, Inis Meain, and tiny Inis Oirr - are justly famed for their rugged natural beauty and fascinating historical sites. They can be visited by ferry from Rossaveal (Ros a’ Mhil), 36 km outside Galway City, or Doolin pier. Charter flights can also be arranged from Connemara through Aer Arann. Inter-island ferries are available for those wishing to travel between islands.

With rocky limestone cliffs, beautiful archaeological monuments, and a windy, temperate climate, the Aran Islands are unlike any other place in the world. The small population, whose roots largely date to the days of Cromwell’s conquest of Ireland, still speaks Irish Gaelic as their first language, and is proud of the beauty of their islands and their rustic way of life, removed from the modern world of the mainland. Relax in one of the islands’ pubs with a pint or a glass of whiskey, enjoying the traditional music and a glimpse into another world.

Rich Celtic history can be found on the islands; the first true Irish monastery was founded near Cill Einne, and the prehistoric ring fort Dun Aengus on Inis Mor is a World Heritage site, among another 38 medieval national monuments. For those with a love of nature, puffins roost in the sheer seaside cliffs and the beaches host colonies of seals. Artists, writers, and travelers of all ages find rest and relaxation in exploring the islands by bicycle or foot, or in simply contemplating their peace and beauty.
