As you approach the shore the salty air invigorates your senses. The spectacular cliffs stand tall and proud against the crashing waves. You are suddenly filled with the essence of Ireland in it's purist form. The beautiful sound of the native Irish tongue sweeps through the breeze. Traditional Irish music at its finest resonates in the many delightful pubs on the island, where the craic is always abundant. You check into a charming B&B where a friendly face immediately makes you feel welcome. You wander into a beautiful restaurant where rustic meets contemporary, coupled with delectable Irish cuisine. You rent a bicycle and explore some of the most breath-taking scenery in Ireland or just take a gentle stroll along the coastline. You approach one of the local fishermen who is happy to take you on a journey of discovery through the meandering caves (you are even lucky enough to get a bit of the local catch). With easy access by road, rail or air, this island is simply the perfect holiday destination. Where is this wonderful place? Achill island of course.
