Description
Achill Island in County Mayo is the largest Irish island and is linked to the mainland by a brand-new bridge. The colourful landscapes of Achill have inspired both writers and artists alike, and despite the buzz of people who flock to this island every year, it can also be a place of retreat for anybody looking for peace and solitude.
One of the possible origins of the name Achill is the Gaelic word acaill, meaning eagle. Travellers often remarked on the golden eagles white tailed sea eagles on Achill, mainly on the peaks of Croaghaun. The last reported sighting of an eagle on Achill was in 1912.
