Such an interesting island but be warned, don't try walking along the cliff tops to visit this historic Celtic fort. After 3 hours of trying to do so, my legs were ready to fall off! We headed back towards the road, walked back to the harbour and got oourselves a bus to the fort. You then have a 20 minute walk upto the remains. It's certainly worth seeing and experiencing just standing on the cliff top within the fort and soaking up the atmosphere and surrounding

5000 year old iron age fort on edge of the eart. 20 min treck up a rocky path is worth it for stunning views. Best experienced on a sunny day. Watch the cliff edge.

This was one of my favorite things we did on our trip. It's important to note that it is not an easy walk from the visitor's center. It's steep and very rocky but absolutely worth it for the phenomenal views. I would not recommend bringing small children as there are no railings or anything to prevent falling off the cliffs. This makes the view even better but is definitely worth noting.

The hike to the fort is well worth your time. It took about 20 minutes to walk each way. Wear sturdy shoes (or sneakers at least) or bring hiking poles. Lots of rock on the path and you are going uphill to breathtaking views. The visitor center lobby has facts and the history of the place.

Patricia was so informative. Really helpful and kind to us especially when we discussed photos of the Aran islands. Fabulous site to visit but very very windy. Take good care to stay away from the edge of the cliff. Do visit this ancient fort because it tells so much history of lives lived in the past. Worth the hilly walk.

Fantastic visit and were lucky with the weather (no rain!) Not overcrowded like Cliffs of Moher -so enjoyable, like a 'hidden' gem. It's a pity we didn't have much time as we were on a day trip to the island- definitely planning an overnight trip next time.
