Inis Bó Finne is a small, enchanting island far removed from the hustle and bustle of modern-day life. Situated two miles off the north Donegal coast, the island has beautiful white sandy beaches and unusual cliffs and caves. The islanders, along with the island itself, seem lost in time, having only recently had electricity and running water provided in their homes. Irish, or Gaeilge, is the first language of their close-knit community. The island is a birdwatcher’s delight, supporting a population of the rare and elusive corncrake, while large numbers of barnacle geese fly in from the Arctic each autumn to remain for the winter. Visitors could learn from these rare birds and take this marvellous island on the northwestern edge of Europe, with its stunning beaches and strange rock formations, to the centre of their heart.
