Inis Mor

Inis Mor is the largest of the three Aran Islands.  The islands are located a couple of miles south of Rossaveal about an hour from Galway Bay.  The Aran Islands have not changed much over the centuries and are famous for the Aran sweater.  We rode a bike throughout the island as most places are inaccessible by car.
