This site is situated off the Co. Galway coast about 5.5 km from the mainland. It comprises two main islands, Inishbofin and Inishshark, with several islets and stacks. Part of the surrounding marine waters are also included. The islands are composed almost entirely of Silurian slates and shales and rise to heights of 89 m (Inishbofin) and 69 m (Inishshark).
Experience the vibrant music scene on Inishbofin with regular music nights and unscheduled sessions in various venues. From lively concerts to impromptu performances, the island comes alive with melodies year-round.
