The Skellig Experience

The Skellig Rocks off the Kerry coast are renowned for their scenery, sea bird colonies, long-lived lighthouse service, their Early Christian monastic architecture and rich underwater life. In any era of the past 1400 years, the name of Skellig has travelled to the ends of the known world. The Heritage Centre is located on Valentia Island, 7 miles off the famous Ring of Kerry. Situated where the road bridge meets the island the centre is directly opposite the attractive fishing village of Portmagee. "Photograph courtesy of Cork/Kerry Tourism".
