Local guide, and national ambassador for the Irish language, Máirín Uí Chonghaile brings you on the straight main road that crosses the island, stopping by Cill Cheannanach, a poetically positioned Early Christian church named after Saint Gregory, the patron Saint of the Island.

Passing harrowed and turned tufts of tilled soil, showing strong signs of potato growth, you'll stop by the Old Post Office, a thatched cottage where John Millington Synge, the famous Irish playwright, stayed in 1898 to gather local folklore for his renowned play, The Playboy of the Western World.

Lastly, you'll veer off the tarred road and onto a gentle hill that brings you up above sea level to a high vantage point where, in the distant past, our great Irish ancestors built the imposing Iron Age stone fort, Dún Chonchúir of thick stone walls and commanding views that provided protection from invaders.
