Exploring the Wormhole Inis Mór: Ireland’s Natural Wonder

Located on the largest of the Aran Islands, Inis Mór, this natural rectangular pool, also known as “Poll na bPéist” (the Serpent’s Lair), is a testament to the power of the Atlantic Ocean and the resilience of the island’s limestone terrain. This natural wonder, carved by the relentless waves over thousands of years, is not only a sight to behold but also a symbol of Ireland’s rich natural heritage. The exploration of this wormhole offers a fascinating insight into the geological history and the raw beauty of Ireland’s rugged west coast.

Slieve League cliffs cruise. Donegal.

County Donegal is known for its striking coastal beauty, but to get the best views, it’s best to get out on the water. With this scenic cruise, see a variety of spectacular natural wonders in a short space of time. Travel from Killybegs Harbour towards the impressive Slieve League cliffs. Along the way, pass by St John’s Point lighthouses, Rotten Island, Fintra Bay, and Benbulbin in Sligo.
