Clare Island
Clare Island, Co. Mayo
Clare Island is located at the entrance to Clew Bay, just 3.5kms off Ireland’s western Atlantic coast. Famous as the ancestral home of the legendary Pirate Queen Grace O’Malley (Granuaile), this incredible place has lots to explore from Clare Island Castle to its 12th century abbey, walking trails, yoga wat Macalla Farm or traditional handweaving with Beth Moran Handweaver. The crossing only takes 25mins from Roonagh near Louisburgh with Clare Island Ferry or O'Malley Ferries.
