What to do in Roan Inish?
Known in Irish as Rón Inis, meaning "Island of Seals ", Roan Inish is a real location near Narin, a village on the west coast of County Donegal in the west of Ulster . They live in the Ireland of tiny fishing villages, places where everyone knows one another. People live close to nature, and animals are respected and live alongside the villagers.
Rón Inis is a low-lying storm-lashed small archipelago comprising five main islands and a large collection of tidal skerries. The islands are reasonably remote being 4 KM from the nearest point on mainland Donegal and sitting in the huge coastal basin from Arranmore to Tormore Island to the south.

I know it was filmed in County Donegal but I would really love to see the actual spots that were shown - especially the scenes of the island of Roan Inish and the cottages they lived in that the kids fixed up.
