Clare Island

Clare Island lies off the west coast of Ireland at at the entrance to Clew Bay.

The largest of the Mayo offshore islands, it has a varied terrain: spectacular cliffs with large numbers of nesting sea birds and a rich 'inland' topography of hills and bogs and small pockets of woodland, making it ideal for hill-walking. 

The island lies roughly four miles off the nearest mainland point and the ferry crossing takes approximately 20 minutes.
