The largest Aran Island, ringed by stone walls and Atlantic cliffs
Inishmore (Inis Mór) is the largest of the Aran Islands, lying across the mouth of Galway Bay on the west coast of Ireland. A windswept limestone island laced with dry-stone walls, it is an Irish-speaking Gaeltacht community and home to some of Europe's most striking prehistoric stone forts.
The islands have been inhabited for thousands of years, and their bare karst landscape preserves an extraordinary density of ancient monuments. Isolation helped keep the Irish language and traditional island life alive here long after they faded on the mainland.
