I visited the island at the start of September and was amazed by the wild flowers still rampaging through the meadows esp up near the summit point of the island. And the views were stunning both over to Connemara and to Black Head. It was also a great vantage point from which to view the massive network of local fields hemmed in by a profusion of elegant dry stone walls. I started off by walking up the lane to the Signal Tower at Dún Árann and easily spotted the trig point 100m to the south west, knowing where to look thanks to Daddy Aran's comment. The route to get there wasn't straighforward but it was a very pleasant ramble through small fields bedecked in a glorious coat of pinks, purples, blues, whites and yellows...particularly lovely were the scabious and knap 'weed'. From the summit you will see Dún Eochla approximately another 100m to the northwest and this is well worth a visit also. And, instead of retracing your steps from here, you can descend northwards for the road and if you're observant you should see what looks like a small dolmen as you near the road. The Wormhole and Dún Aonghasa are rightly the main attractions further west but this quiet area at the summit is very rewarding in its own way. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1371/comment/15615/
