Experience the romance and mystery of Inishmurrray island aboard the fast mv
Excalibur. Keith, will reveal the
secrets of the island as you travel.
Sceilg Michael, Inisheer, Inishmaan, Tory: these are all enchanted places that call to mind visions of offshore islands shrouded in romance and mystery, repositories of culture and customs lost and gone forever on the more accessible mainland.
St Molaise founded a Christian Monastery on Inishmurray in the 6th century, the remains of which are remarkably intact to this day. This remote and mystical island, four miles from the coast of Sligo, excels all others for its state of preservation as an early Christian site, for its wild scenery and as a wildlife sanctuary.

Knocknarea Honey
Skipper Keith Clarke's sideline is beekeeping (picture left). His apiary produces some of the finest honey in Ireland: Pot, Section, Cut-comb, Light flower, Dark blossom, Chunk, Heather, Granulated and Creamed honeys. This year the yield was exceptionally fine from an unusually profuse flowering of whitethorn which is said to occur once every seven years. Honey from whitethorn blossom has especially curative properties.
