Tory Island, 6 km by 2 km, is derived from the Gaelic Toraigh (high rocky cliffs) and is the most remote of the inhabited islands of Ireland.
From the mainland you can take the ferry from Magheraroarty or Bunbeg to the island, in stormy seas it is an experience to drive to the island, then you have to ask whether the ship is also sailing
The island's remote location has helped preserve the Irish language and traditions and the general way of life of the place.
The islanders live in two grouped settlements, "An Baile Thiar" (West Town) and "An Baile Thoir" (East Town), about 200 residents. Tory Island's spectacular cliff landscape is complemented by a rich and varied history.
The Tory Island Harbor View Hotel is the central meeting point, not only for the residents but also for the tourists.

A wonderful, very original part of Ireland. Until a few years ago there was Patsy Dan Rogers, the elected king of the island, who insisted on personally greeting all arrivals on the ferry and later saying goodbye.
