Beautiful castle based on a stunning and unique island full of history. I would also recommend seeing the lighthouse, the well, the shipwreck, and going for a swim in the beautiful ocean. Lots of local shops and cafes near the pier. You can visit the island via a flight from connemara, galway. Or catch a ferry from connemara, galway or doolin by the cliffs of Mohr. Come and visit this beautiful island and stay in a b and b.

Super steep walk up but worth it!

Interesting ruin. Since it is one of the few sites to see on Inish Oirr, you should go see it. Really nice view of the island from this site. I was a bit disappointed to see so many people climbing on the structure. I realize it's hard to resist, but it just destroys it little by little.

Caisleán Uí Bhriain (O’ Brien’s Castle) was built in the 14th century and is now a ruin but with views over the island and waterway. The castle is a rectangular keep which was built by the O’Briens. They were a Co. Clare clan who ruled the islands and was taken by the O’Flahertys around 1582.

You can see the different walls separating the various property owners and there is a great photo op from the top...

The castle is decent, but truly it's the walk up here and the surrounding views that make this area special. It was incredibly windy when we visited as well, which made it a little tough to enjoy. It is worth the small hike up to here though, and I agree with others that it would be very nice to have some...
