Achill Island is a quiet island in the north-west of Ireland and it is connected to the mainland by a bridge.In Achill Island you will not meet a lot of tourists - not even during the high season between May and September... Take the 'Atlantic Drive' - the coast-road in the south to see this lovely island and pass by this old fortification- and watch-tower. Like many other remains of ancient times this tower is privately owned today and you may NOT step up there in order to take a look around :-((

A few old ladies and a nun asked me whether we they can sit at my table and after a while they invited me for a tea and we had a lovely afternoon tea and a nice chat. That's Ireland for me!
