As cars are not allowed access to the Islands the best way to get around is on foot or bike hire. With very few cars the islands are unspoiled and unpolluted, very rare and refreshing nowadays!  There are Bronze Age and Iron Age forts on the islands.  The most prominent of these forts sits on the edge of a cliff on Inis Mór at a height of 330 feet, it towers over the Atlantic ocean.   It’s a spectacular view-point.  The islands are also famous for the traditional Aran jumper (Geansaí Árann in Irish), it’s made from 100% sheep’s wool and is an off-white colour. A warm keepsake from the islands and a forever memory of your trip to Ireland.
