The Aran Islands

September 19th, 2006

For anyone looking to enjoy some traditional Irish culture, a trip to the Aran Islands is an absolute must. There are three islands: Inishmore, Inishmaan and Inisheer, and the largest, Inishmore is just 13km long and 3km wide. The islands have formed from a limestone ridge, and their isolation has allowed traditional Irish culture to thrive. The landscape of the Aran Islands is particularly striking, with lush fields crossed by stone walls, beautiful cliff walks and lovely beaches.
