Here's what they say about the island:
"Inis Meáin offers the best of Ireland in one easily explored island – unparalleled natural beauty, culture, and history in a living community. As the least developed of the three Aran Island, it's landscape, culture and history can be explored in pease and at the visitors own pace. The combination of elemental beaty and personal space has long attracted independent thinkers and artists and has been the inspiration for many well-known works including Jm Synge's The Aran Islands and Martin McDonogh's more recent The Cripple of Inishmaan (an anglicisation of Inis Meáin)."
Activities on the Island
As the island is just 5km by 3km, it is easily explorable by foot and bicycle. It is a haven for outdoor types looking for a "get away from it all" experience in a unique landscape.
Home to a close-knit irish-speaking community, the island features many historical and cultural sights of note, and inspiring natural terrain including beaches, cliffs, and limestone karst hosting unusual flora and fauna.
Shopping at the internationally renowned Inis Meáin Knitting Company factory store and socialising in the traditional island pub add to the attraction of Inis Meáin as a refreshing and unique destination.
Hiking
There are stunning coastal hikes from two to eight hours in length which take in sea-cliffs, wave cut platforms, puffing holes, beaches and dunes. Enjoy your HotPot Lunch along the way in Synge’s Chair looking out over Galway Bay.
