Beautiful Tidal island accessible by beach and road during low tide,the flora and fauna is truly breathtaking, the scenery is spectacular, on a fine day you may even be treated to the very special sound of the corncrake, the history of the island is also worth googling as is was once home to the monastic settlement of St. Feichin, the ruins of the old church is still there and St. Feichin’s Holy Well, Tim Robinson has written about this island during his time here in a Connemara
