Around the Island
Achill Island
Achill Island is Ireland's largest Island - though it is only separated from the mainland by a narrow waterway.
This waterway has been bridged, so unlike some of the smaller islands, you can drive across to Achill.
The island has a population of over 2,500, which swells during the summer period.
The island's economy is mainly dependent on tourism, agriculture is restricted to sheep farming due to the boggy nature of the land.
The Sound
Achill Island
The village of Gob an Choire or in English Achill Sound, is close to the Michael Davitt Bridge, a swinging bridge, which connects the island to the mainland.
The village and the surrounding area is a Gaeltacht area, as the Irish is the language of the local people.
