  • Inishmore Aerodrome (IOR), Killeany, Co. Galway, Ireland
  • Dun Eochla, County Galway, Ireland
    Dún Eochla is a superb stone ring fort located at the highest point on Inishmore in the Aran Islands. The inner walls measure approximately 5 metres in height, and over 3 metres in depth. This fort deserves far more attention than it gets with it’s fantastic location and remarkable condition, but is overlooked because of the popularity of the nearby Dún Aengus/Dún Aonghasa. Rarely do you find four stone forts so close together on one small island, each of which are in great condition.
    20 minutes
  • Brannock Island East, Ballydavock, Co. Galway, Ireland
    Eeragh Lighthouse is an active lighthouse located on Rock Island, one of the Brannock Islands, part of the Aran Islands archipelago in County Galway, Ireland. It marks the north-western entrance to Galway Bay and the port of Galway known as the North Sound. Originally a light was established on Inishmore near Dun Oghil at a height of 400 feet alongside the Signal Tower. The light was first lit on 1st May 1818 with a revolving optic giving it a flashing character so as not to be confused with either Loophead to the south or Clare Island to the north, both of which were fixed or non-flashing lights.
    15 minutes
  • Na Seacht Teampaill (The Seven Churches), County Galway, Ireland
    Situated in the west of Inis Mór at the village of Eoghanacht the seven churches was for centuries one of the biggest monastic foundations and centres of pilgrimage along the west coast of Ireland. Breacan is believed to have come here in the earliest period from Kilbrecan near Quin in County Clare. Tradition on the island has it that his foundation rivalled St Enda’s foundation in the east of the island. Indeed the two saints are held to have eventually agreed to divide the island between them. Although termed ‘ the seven churches’ there are in fact only two churches with a number of domestic buildings. The title seven is possibly an allusion to the pilgrimage circuit of Rome which incorporated seven churches. Teampall Bhreacáin( St Brecan’s Church) is a large multi period church c. 8th-13th century. Teampall an Phoill ‘ (the Church of the Hollow) is a 15th century church smaller and simpler in style. There used be two Holy Wells -now enclosed on site.

  • Dun Aonghasa, County Galway, Ireland
    Perched on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic ocean, Dún Aonghasa is the largest of the prehistoric stone forts of the Aran Islands. The fort consists of three massive dry-stone walls and a chevaux-de-frise, a dense band of jagged, upright stones, surrounding the fort from cliff to cliff, designed to impede attackers. Originally constructed c.1100BC, it was re-fortified around 700-800 AD. Excavations revealed significant evidence of prehistoric metalworking, as well as several houses and burials.
    60 minutes
  • Kilmurvey, Kilmurvey, Ireland
    Kilmurvery craft village is located at the foot of Dun Aonghasa and contains a handful of eclectic Irish arts and crafts shops. Many visitors to the island browse or refresh at the cosy cafe before entering Dun Aonghasa.

  • Oghil, Co. Galway, Ireland
    The seal colony is situated on the northern side of the island close to Kilmurvey Beach, on the road to Dún Aonghasa and is clearly signposted with a small cabin selling snacks at the viewing point. At low tide, a dozen seals congregate on the beach and rocks, creating a beautiful sight with the mountains of Connemara as its backdrop.
    15 minutes
  • Lo road, Oghil, Inis mor, Co. Galway, Ireland
    Aran Island Goat’s Cheese is a family run goat farm on Inish Mór – the largest of the Aran Islands - producing a range of soft cheeses and a barrel aged goats feta. The Island tour that also includes a stop at the cheese factory with people given the chance to meet the goats, watch cheese being made, have an educational commentary and taste the cheese. Aran Goats Cheese produces a soft cheese with or without Dillisk (a seaweed harvested on the island), a Gouda which also comes infused with sea lettuce, or Dillisk, a medium hard cheese that looks like Brie and a Summer Cheese not unlike Feta.

Gabriel was so personable and friendly. He took us around the island, talked about his family and how he grew up on the island. We went to his farm and met the goats and tasted his delicious goat cheese. We had an amazing day!!!

We had the best time! Gabriel was amazing, the tour was amazing, the goats were amazing. My family 12 year old triplets, 16 year old and Mom and Dad had the best time with Gabriel. He was kind and knowledgeable. The tour was perfect, the goats were the best!!!!!! The cheese is to die for. If we ever come back we would do this in a heart beat. Thank you Gabriel for being so amazing to my family, you gave them a core memory and I will forever be in your debt.

Gabriel met us at the ferry dock as stated and was easy to contact for final confirmation. The tour of his goat facility was nice. Learned a lot about the cheese and such. Took a nice little drive around the island. Learned some history. Then he dropped us off at the gift shops and cafe on the middle of the island for about 2 hours for us to eat and shop. Then he drove us back to the ferry. Overall it was a nice experience. Not sure it was worth the expense as we could have seen all of this on our own, but he was a nice guy and we had a good time.
