THINGS TO DO
Skellig Rock
Skellig Michael, a rocky island with an abandoned 7th-century Christian monastery, is a major destination point and Unesco World Heritage site. We can arrange boat trips to Skellig Michael but a few months notice is often required - it gets very booked up. Trips around the island can be organised more easily.
Cahergal Stone Forts.
Two of the most impressive of Iveragh's ancient stone forts are situated just outside of Caherciveen and well worth a visit. Sensitively restored, they give a real glimpse of life in ancient Ireland.
​
​
Caherlehillan
A short drive or 40 minute hike to one of Ireland's little known gems. Excavated in the 1990's, Caherlehillan is one of the earliest monastic sites and dates back to 400 AD - prior to the arrival of St Patrick.
Ballycarbery Castle
Ballycarbery Castle is the largest and most impressive of the castles built on the peninsula. Dating back to approximately 1400 its remains consist of an ivy-covered tower house with an attached turret. It is only 3 km from Cahersiveen and opposite the Cahergal stone forts.
Skellig Ring
As recommended by Lonely Planet this little travelled 18km drive links Portmagee, Valentia Island and Ballinskelligs. Enjoy the ragged, wild and beautiful Atlantic coastline. If you feel you've earned it, why not stop off for coffee and more at the Skelligs Chocolate Factory opposite the stunning St. Finian's Bay?
Killarney National Park
Killarney National Park, near the town of Killarney, County Kerry, was the first national park in Ireland, created when Muckross Estate was donated to the Irish Free State in 1932. It is one of Europe's most beautiful parks and covers 103 squared km. Lakes, mountains and deer - filled forests leave visitors spellbound.
The Barracks
Visit Caherciveen's 19th century barracks built by the British to protect the companies laying the transatlantic cable to America. Its fairytale architecture comes as a surprise and with an unusual explanation!
Carrauntoohil
Carrauntoohil is the highest peak in Ireland. Located in County Kerry, it is 1,038 metres high and is the central peak of the Macgillycuddy's Reeks range.
