Discovering Ireland's Aran Islands

The Aran Islands give us a special look at old Irish life with their rough landscapes and ancient stone walls. Off Ireland's west coast, these three islands - Inishmore, Inishmaan, and Inisheer - keep alive a culture where Gaelic is still the main language. Visitors can check out the prehistoric fort Dún Aonghasa sitting high on a cliff edge, see the unique limestone landscapes, or bike along beautiful coastal roads. The islands host the Red Bull Cliff Diving contest at Poll na bPéist (Worm Hole) and celebrate Féile Cheoil in spring with traditional Irish music. Craft lovers enjoy the famous Aran sweaters, known around the world for their detailed patterns. Regular ferries connect the islands to mainland spots like Doolin and Galway, making them easy to visit for a day trip or longer stay when exploring Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way.
