The ancient amphitheatres were built in the form of an incomplete circle, the opening of which was occupied by the stage, the centre of attention and connection point between the two ends of the tiers. Clew Bay inspires this exact same feeling: the city surrounding it, in place of the amphitheatre, holding hands, all eyes turning toward the ocean that winds between the many islands of the basin (365 in fact, just like the days in the year according to legend), as if in a common connection.
Iconic mountain offers both bracing challenge and outstanding coastal views for believers and unbelievers alike.
Two very different hiking trails, one ascending to the highest point of the island, the other meandering through the countryside and around one of its lakes, enable visitors to experience the many aspects of Inishturk nature, scenery and rural heritage.
