Step into the captivating world of the Aran Islands with our guided virtual walking tours, featuring renowned local guides Cathleen Ni Chonghaile and Máirín Uí Chonghaile. Let the magic unfold as you embark on a journey through the enchanting landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Inis Oírr, Inis Meáin, and Inis Mór, all from the comfort of your treadmill exercise equipment at home.

Begin your adventure on Inis Oírr, the smallest of the Aran Islands, and discover its ancient wonders. Join Cathleen Ni Chonghaile as she leads you to Relig Phóil, an ancient burial ground, and the buried church of Patron Saint Caomhán. Meander through iconic stone-walled fields filled with freshly grown potatoes and grazing cattle, immersing yourself in the island's traditional farming practices. Visit the hilltop fort of O'Brien's Castle, built from an Iron Age enclosure, that commands a powerful presence over the island as you explore Inis Oírr's timeless beauty and Celtic spirituality.

On Inis Meáin, the tranquil middle Aran Island, Máirín Uí Chonghaile will guide you to Cill Cheannanach, a small church named after Saint Gregory, the most important Christian site on the island. Stroll along the road, peering into the iconic small-holding stone-walled fields, and visit the thatched cottage where John Millington Synge, the famous Irish playwright, gathered local folklore for his renowned play, "The Playboy of the Western World." Delight in the historic aspects of this unassuming thatched cottage before exploring the imposing Iron Age stone fort, Dún Chonchúir (Conor's Fort), high above the island, with its thick walls and commanding views.

Lastly, venture to Inis Mór, the largest and most majestic of the Aran Islands. Walk the Path of Angels on your own to reach Teampall Bhenáin, the second smallest church in Europe, and soak in the spiritual ambiance of this ancient place. Next, traverse the dangerous cliff-top edge to visit Dún Dúchathair, the Black Fort, an Iron Age stone fort overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, with remnants of an intriguing past.
