Must See Places in Ireland

The Aran Islands

Specifically, Inisheer Island

Catch the ferry from Doolin for a fun day trip. Inisheer is the smallest and most easterly of the three Aran Islands in Galway Bay, Ireland. 260 permanent residents reside here, where most fluently speak Irish. The main transportation for this small island is by horse or bikes, the area is a little over 3 miles radius… so even a brisk walk will do.
