Arranmore Island
Árainn Mhór
The largest inhabited island in Donegal, reached by a ferry of only about 20 minutes, with a cliff-and-lighthouse coastal walk around the island.
Ferries depart from Burtonport and can carry vehicles. The island has a roughly 14 km loop walking trail. The western sea cliffs and lighthouse are the most spectacular, and dolphins can be spotted here in summer. The eastern pier has a pub, restaurants and small shops. It suits a half-day or full-day trip. Waterproof footwear is needed for the loop walk.
