About this site
Inishmore is the largest of the Aran Islands, set at the mouth of Galway Bay off the coast of Connacht, and its western and northern shorelines are cut by limestone cliffs and cave systems shaped by Atlantic swell. The Puffin Holes site sits along this rugged coast, reached by boat from the island or from the Galway mainland.
