Achill | MAP | INFORMATION |

Achill, a dynamic island community some sixty miles square. Where saints have walked; where a pirate queen ruled; where famine once stalked and emigration still does. Where tourism, fishing and unemployment shape the lives of some 2,900 people. Custodians of our past. Planners of our future in the new millenium. Proud, independent, hardworking. Full of warmth and good cheer.

A home, a holiday, a memory. Full of history and music and lore. For the artist, the angler, the hillwalker. For young and old, dreamer and doer. For you. This virtual Island site is designed to represent every aspect of life on Achill Island. Try a scenic or historic tour.
