A visit to inishmurray Island is like a step back in time to a uniquely preserved island life dating back as far at the early Christians. Despite being only an hour's paddle form the Sligo coast this island offers a wealth of history, natural beauty and wildlife.
It is a remote and mystical wildlife sanctuary with an ancient Christain settlement along with more recent settlements which have now been abandoned.
