Hiking
Dún Bhaloir or Balor's Fortress:
Located on the east side of the island, the peninsula is surrounded on three sides by 90 m high cliffs and is practically impregnable. Balor's fortress can only be reached by crossing a narrow isthmus defended by four earthy embankments.
At the highest point there is a great place to take a break, where almost all hikers take their lunch break (Cric 54 m).
In strong winds you shouldn't go too close to the cliffs.

A beautiful place on the cliffs. On the way you can see the winches that were used to bring boats to safety in the small sandy bays below.
