Aughnish is a small tidal island two miles to the north east of the town of Ramelton in County Donegal. It can be accessed at low tide via a causeway. However once you arrive on the island you cannot explore further, as there is a "No Trespassing" sign at the start of the track up to the island's only farm. The island is about half a mile from north to south and 500 metres from east to west and its highest point is 25 metres above sea level. In 2011 the resident population was three people. That's all I can tell you about the island.
Visitors are not welcome
