• Dun Eochla - Dún Eochla is an impressive stone ring fort situated at the highest point on Inishmore in the Aran Islands. The inner walls stand about 5 meters tall and over 3 meters thick. This fort, with its stunning location and excellent preservation, deserves more recognition but is often overshadowed by the nearby Dún Aengus/Dún Aonghasa. It is rare to find four stone forts in such close proximity on a small island, all in excellent condition.
• Viewpoint Eeragh Lighthouse - Eeragh Lighthouse is an operational lighthouse located on Rock Island, part of the Brannock Islands in the Aran Islands archipelago, 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 illuminated on May 1, 1818, with a revolving optic to give it a flashing character, distinguishing it from Loophead to the south and Clare Island to the north, both of which had fixed lights.
• Na Seacht Teampaill (The Seven Churches) - Located in the west of Inis Mór at the village of Eoghanacht, the Seven Churches was for centuries one of the largest monastic foundations and pilgrimage centers along Ireland’s west coast. Breacan is believed to have arrived here in the earliest period from Kilbrecan near Quin in County Clare. Tradition on the island suggests that his foundation rivaled St Enda’s foundation in the east of the island. The two saints are said to have eventually agreed to divide the island between them. Although called ‘the seven churches,’ there are actually only two churches with several domestic buildings. The title seven possibly refers to the pilgrimage circuit of Rome, which included seven churches. Teampall Bhreacáin (St Brecan’s Church) is a large multi-period church dating from the 8th to the 13th century. Teampall an Phoill (the Church of the Hollow) is a 15th-century church, smaller and simpler in style. There used to be two Holy Wells, now enclosed on site.
• Dun Aonghasa - Situated on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Dún Aonghasa is the largest of the prehistoric stone forts on the Aran Islands. The fort comprises three massive dry-stone walls and a chevaux-de-frise, a dense band of jagged, upright stones, encircling the fort from cliff to cliff, designed to deter attackers. Originally built around 1100 BC, it was re-fortified around 700-800 AD. Excavations have uncovered significant evidence of prehistoric metalworking, as well as several houses and burials.
• Kilmurvey - Kilmurvey craft village is located at the base of Dun Aonghasa and features a selection of unique Irish arts and crafts shops. Many island visitors enjoy browsing or relaxing at the cozy café before exploring Dun Aonghasa.
• Seal Colony Viewpoint - The seal colony is located on the northern side of the island near 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 gather on the beach and rocks, creating a picturesque scene with the Connemara mountains as a backdrop.
• Aran Islands Goats Cheese - Aran Island Goat’s Cheese is a family-run goat farm on Inish Mór, the largest of the Aran Islands, producing a variety of soft cheeses and a barrel-aged goat’s feta. The island tour includes a stop at the cheese factory, where visitors can meet the goats, watch cheese being made, enjoy an educational commentary, and taste the cheese. Aran Goats Cheese offers a soft cheese with or without Dillisk (a seaweed harvested on the island), a Gouda infused with sea lettuce or Dillisk, a medium-hard cheese resembling Brie, and a Summer Cheese similar to Feta. Their Dillisk is harvested on the shores of Inis Mór. The farm’s pigs are also fed whey, a byproduct of cheese making, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
