Exploring the Islands uncompromising landscape
which is home to a resourceful and resilient island population.
Lots of little pubs and restaurants on the island as well as the
great opportunity to purchase an Aran sweater for which the islands
are widely renowned. We strongly recommend a pair of sturdy walking
boots for your exploration of the island. The highlight of your
visit to Inis Mor will be Dun Aenghus. This prehistoric stone fort
was the last stronghold on what was once believed to be the most
Westerly point on the map of the World. The island is 8 miles long
and 2 miles wide.
Here, on the very edge of Europe, is an
Island rich in the language, culture and heritage of Ireland, unique
in its geology and archaeology and in its long tradition of gentle
hospitality. Here is a place to sense the spirit of Gaelic Ireland,
to touch the past, but with all the comforts and facilities of the
present. Aran will take you back to an Ireland of Celts and Early
Christians. This is an island of great peace and tranquility, but
it is also an island of great fun and activity.
A
timeless land in an endless sea, weathered monuments on awesome
