The Story of the Aran Islands Audio Guide
Discover ancient forts, monastic sanctuaries and hidden histories with the Aran Islands Audio Guide
Set sail with a story by Aran Island Ferries and Abarta Heritage
The Aran Islands are situated in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Galway and Clare. These beautiful islands are full of stories, with history and heritage around every corner and abound with iconic stone forts and ancient monasteries. The islands have inspired artists and writers for generations, and today they remain a place apart, with their own distinctive culture and vibrancy.
On our journey we’ll hear the story of the O’Brien family of Aran Island Ferries and their long association with the islands, we’ll explore subjects like the islands’ prehistoric archaeology, and natural heritage and we’ll hear of the iconic stone fortresses like Dún Aonghasa. We’ll also hear of how the islands became renowned as a centre of learning for Ireland’s early saints, how numerous writers and artists have found inspiration here and what life is like on the islands today.
This audio guide is designed to be listened to on board, or you can enjoy it from the comfort of your own home and it will hopefully inspire you to take a voyage to discover the islands for yourself!
