Inishmurray Island

Inishmurray Island is located just 4.5 miles off the coast of County Sligo. It is one mile long by a half mile wide.

Although isolated, this small 225 acre island was continuously inhabited from the sixth century. In 1880, Inishmurray was home to 102 people but fell to 46 buy the time of its evacuation in 1948.

Today, Inishmurray Island contains the most complete remains of an early Irish monastic settlement as well as the ruins of its nineteenth century houses. It is home to many fantastic plants and wildlife.
