Infrastructure/Economy The island was the first offshore island in the Republic of Ireland to get electricity from the Rural Electrification Scheme in 1957, but was amongst the last places in the country to get universally reliable piped water (in the 1980s) and an automatic phone exchange (in the 1990s). It went directly from a manual switchboard to an ISDN-enabled system, which had to be upgraded within weeks due to massive demand for consumer phone lines, as the previous exchange had been limited to issuing numbers to business ventures only, and only had 47 internal lines.
Things to do on Arranmore Island, where to stay and places to visit on Arranmore Island
This is the first time I'm posting on the NoSleep form so go easy on me. For background, I'm a very logical scientific guy. Im an agnostic who believes in facts and not the supernatural. But what happened next I've never been able to explain. What I'm about to tell you happen to me on Arranmore island just off the west coast of Ireland in July 2000 when I was in my late teens. A bit of background first, I was at what most Americas would call a summer camp on the island. This summer camp helped Irish teens become more fluent in our native language of Irish. Anyway to get back on track it was around 10:30pm that evening when I set off home. The dance and activity night was nearly coming to an end in the hall we accommodated in the main village on the island. It had started late as one of the teachers was leaving that night and it was his going away night but he'd shown up late and it delayed things. The hall we were having the event in was about a 7 kilometre walk from the accommodation I was staying with my mates.
The cruise costs €20 for an adult ticket and those that hop aboard can expect to see everything from islands and dolphins, to seals, basking sharks and much more. 4. Rent a bike and take a spin out to Arranmore Lighthouse Photo by Patrick Mangan (Shutterstock) You'll find Arranmore Lighthouse on the north west tip of the island, where it's best reached on bike. The first lighthouse was built on the island in 1798. Interestingly enough, it was the first lighthouse in Donegal at the time. The lighthouse was rebuilt much later, in 1865 and was then automated in 1982. You can see sea caves and sea arches nearby. 5. Discover the story behind the Cave of Slaughter You'll find the 'Cave of Slaughter' on the south of the island, a stone's-throw from the church and the fort. According to legend, a royal prick and Cromwellian captain by the name of Conyngham slaughtered a number of women and children in 1641 who were using the cave for shelter. 6. Give water sports a crack Cumann na mBád, Árainn Mhór, a watersports club based on the island, aim to promote boating to both locals and tourists alike.
