Hiking

The church bears the name of the island's patron saint - St. Cavans. Because of the Atlantic winds and the proximity to the beach, the church was buried under sand for many centuries and was only rediscovered in the 1970s. Every year, St. Cavan has to be cleared of new sand.

The cemetery of Castle Village and the old dilapidated medieval church are for history lovers, photographers and curious a nice side trip to Insheer
