Baile Mór
he passenger ferry from Fionnphort drops you off at
BAILE MÓR
(literally “Large
Village”), which is in fact little more than a single terrace of cottages facing the sea. You
will, though, find most things of a practical nature located here, including the island's
main hotel, restaurant and a well-stocked shop.
Augustinian nunnery
A short walk up from the jetty lie the extensive pink-granite ruins of the
Augustinian
nunnery
, disused since the Reformation. A beautifully maintained garden now occupies
the cloisters, and if nothing else the complex gives you an idea of the state of the
present-day abbey before it was restored.
