Coastal Curiosity Inishbofin - West
Explore blowholes and sea arches while listening to the folklore and history along our shorelines. Spot some seals, discover ancient ruins, and then trek to the clifftops to take in the Atlantic Ocean. This route provides you with an unbeatable view of our neighbouring uninhabited island, Inishark. You can see the abandoned village and learn of the people that once lived there.
What to expect: This walk will take you along the West of the island. The terrain will change from road to off-road. This is an adventurous and highly enjoyable walk that is not too demanding. You will learn about our neighbouring island and hopefully spot some seals along the coast!
Suitable for: Adults and families interested in exploring the seascape and getting to know the history and culture of Inishbofin and our neighbouring Inishark. (Terrain not suitable for buggies).
What to bring: Weather-appropriate clothing, suitable walking shoes or boots with good grip, and a small backpack with water and snacks as needed. If you have binoculars, we also recommend bringing them.
Difficulty: Easy - Moderate
Time: 2hr
