Cycling on Inisheer Island, Aran Islands. Self Guided. Full Day.

Inis Oirr (Inisheer) is the smallest of the islands is characterized by its distinctive charm. A bike is the perfect way to explore this microcosm of traditional Irish life. This Aran island is close to the Burren with its unusual eclectic mix of colour and the Cliffs of Moher clearly visible in all its panoramic splendour. The Island itself also has the true feel of a classical isolated fishing village. From the pier you are greeted with a pristine carpeted white sandy beach facing clear crystal turquoise water and plenty of fishing boats, their nets, and fisherman returning at the end of the day with their catch. The main village area is right next to the beach and is enclosed by a small hill with a castle and a fort at the top as if they are taking care of the islanders and its visitors. The island is 3km by 3km wide with small hills and intricate little valley’s and is easily covered by foot or by bike. The walk to the lighthouse or the shipwreck of the Plassy is a wonderful experience where you feel the island with its diverse landscape unfold before your eyes.
