'Lashed by the ocean and carved by the wind Achill is one of Ireland's most spectacular and striking destinations'

​

Ireland's largest island, Achill has attracted people to its shores for generations. 

​

Its rugged landscape features dramatic cliffs, soaring mountains, remote lakes and secluded beaches - including five with blue flag status. Offering a wide range of outdoor activities, from surfing, windsurfing and scuba diving to hillwalking, fishing, golf and much more, a visit to Achill can be as active, or as relaxed, as you choose.

​

The Atlantic Drive (Wild Atlantic Way) is truly not to be missed.  A spectacular drive around the south of the island where the Atlantic Ocean crashes against the rocks.

​

There are some excellent places to eat on the island and lots of pubs to enjoy a tipple listening to some traditional Irish music.  In Dugort we have two pubs, one at each end of the village as well as two highly recommended restaurants.

​

A visit to Achill Island is the perfect antedote to a busy urban life, the only traffic jams here are caused by the sheep and the most stressful part of the day is waiting for the Guinness to settle.
