IslandRossaveal
Wander down to Rossaveel Harbour (Calafort Ros an Mhíl) in County Galway and watch the colourful boats sail in and out.
Just 23km from the heart of Galway city, Rossaveel Harbour is an operational harbour that serves the surrounding Aran Islands.
Ramble along the peaceful harbour and breathe in the salty sea air. Or leave the car in the large car park nearby and hop on the ferry for a short visit of the neighbouring islands.
