The Aran Islands are a group of three exceptionally beautiful islands off the west coast of Ireland. There are several ruins of Iron Age forts and you will be able to hear Irish spoken, as well as Irish music played in the very few pubs. The world famous hand loomed Aran sweater was originally knitted here. It is well worth the effort getting to the islands and the travel is easy if you follow a few simple steps.
