Geocache Description:

Stac an Iolar (Eagles Rock) is a superb coastal view and walk on the SW tip of Árrainn Mhór Island. 


 Sitting at the South West tip of Arranmore Island lives the iconic Stac an Iolar sea stack. (Stack of the Eagle)

 This 35m sea stack sits in the centre of a truly outstanding location in a monster amphitheatre of nautical sculptured madness. It is a short coastal walk from the main (only) road around the island to the clifftops overlooking this immaculate sea stack. The amphitheatre that surrounds the stack is a very atmospheric place to be indeed with all it's walls being vertical or overhanging for their full 50 to 100 meter height.

 A short film of the area

 This entire coastline of the seaward face of Árrainn Mhór is a very scenic and remote coastal walk, it is unpathed and unfenced. Hikking/Treking attire is advised.

 This cache is a medium container containing a notepad, pencil and sharpener.
