Tips

July 24, 2023

Hiking

The harbour is an important ferry terminal for visiting Aranmore Island (Árainn Móir),Inishfree Island (Inis Fraoigh), and Rutland Island (Inis Mhic a Doirín). In fact the village was named after the local landowner, Burton Conyngham, who built a pier here to sail over to Rutland Island and it became simply 'Burton's Port'. It is a great place to stop for fish and chips or a coffee and there are public toilets at the end of the harbour wall.
