The biggest island off the coast
of Ireland, Achill Island is linked to the mainland by a
swing-bridge. This makes it easily accessible for the holiday maker - no need
to wait for ferries! Because Achill Island is unspoilt by the
ravages of the modern day, most of its beaches (and there are many!)
have been awarded Blue Flag status by the European Union, thus
guaranteeing their quality and cleanliness. Close by are dramatic
views of towering cliffs, beautiful majestic mountains and open
moorland. Such is its beauty, that Achill, County Mayo has long been
the haunt of famous Irish and international writers and artists, and
more recently, of photographers.
