Helpfulness
The minibuses and other forms of transport all do what has become called the 'Ring of Aran'.
Once you have completed this, you have seen a good deal of the island.
On the other hand you could head the other way out of Kilronan, around the bay towards the airport (well grass strip anyway). After about a kilometer you will soon come across the 16th century Arkin's Castle. It was later occupied by Oliver Cromwell's troops who plundered several monuments from around the island in order to repair it.
If you then look up to the cliff on the other edge of the island you should be able to spot
the ruins of an ancient church. Some claim it was the smallest in the world measuring at just 10.75ft x 7ft.
