I have been here once and was immediately taken in by the remoteness of these islands off the west coast of Ireland, accessible by a small ferry and commuter aircraft. Traveling with my wife and son at the time, we visited for one day during our two week to trip to Ireland a few years ago. We took a minibus tour to Dun Aengus, an Iron Age fort that sits on the cliff edge of the western coast, battered by the strong North Atlantic waves.
The remoteness and ruggedness of the islands would provide the perfect but short respite and allow me to reboot or reset my mind as I take long walks on the island, enjoy a pint or two at the local pub and bed at one of the few B & B accommodations that can be found.
