Inchagoill National Heritage Week Event - August 25th, 2019
“Capturing The Magic ”
Inchagoill was described by Sir William Wilde, father of the more famous author, Oscar, who wrote in his classic 1867 survey of Lough Corrib: “Inchagoill Island is the jewel in the crown of Lough Corrib’s Islands and by far the most interesting island on the lake and…one of the most remarkable spots on Irish ground.’

The event was organised by Corrib Beo Partnership as a step towards revealing the abundance and richness of the Corrib’s archaeological, historic and scenic treasures.
The event was just one step in a journey by the Partnership towards the creation of a new vision for the lake that will realise its true social, economic and environmental potential.
