Introducing Inishmór

Most visitors who venture out to the islands don’t make it beyond Inishmór (Árainn) and its main attraction, Dún Aengus, the stone fort perilously perched on the island’s towering cliffs. Tourism turns the wheels of the island’s economy: an armada of tour vans greet each ferry at the wharf, offering a ride round the sights (not a bad idea if you’re doing a quick day trip). The arid landscape west of Kilronan (Cill Rónáin), the island’s main settlement, is dominated by stone walls, boulders, scattered buildings and the odd patch of deep-green grass and potato plants.
