Skellig Islands, Ring of Kerry, County Kerry, Ireland, Europe
The Skellig Islands, once known as the Skellocks, are two small, steep, and rocky islands lying about 13 km west of Bolus Head on the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. They are famous for their thriving gannet and puffin populations, and for an early Christian monastery that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The smaller island is Little Skellig. It is closed to the public, and holds Ireland's largest and the world's second-largest Northern Gannet colony, with almost 30,000 pairs. It is about 1.5 km eastnortheast of Great Skellig. Also known as Skellig Michael, this is the larger of the two islands, with two peaks rising to over 230 m above sea level. With a sixth-century Christian monastery perched at 160 m above sea level on a ledge close to the top of the lower peak, Great Skellig is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Both of the Skellig islands are well known for their seabird colonies, and together comprise one of the most important seabird sites in Ireland, both for the population size and for the species diversity. Among the breeding birds are European Storm-Petrels, Northern Gannets, Fulmars, Manx Shearwaters, Black-legged Kittiwakes, Common Guillemots, Razorbills and Atlantic Puffins (with 4,000 or more puffins on Great Skellig alone). Smaller numbers of Choughs and Peregrine Falcons can also be seen. The surrounding waters teem with life also. Grey Seals are common, and Basking Sharks, Minke Whales, Dolphins, Beaked Whale, and Leatherback Turtles have also been recorded. The islands have many interesting recreational diving sites due to the clear water, an abundance of life, and underwater cliffs down to 60 meters (200 feet). The Skellig islands are featured prominently in a sequence at the end of the 1976 German film Herz aus Glas (Heart of Glass) by Werner Herzog. Irish Group Clannad wrote a song Skellig for their 1987 Album Sirius. Canadian singer/songwriter Loreena McKennitt wrote the song Skellig for her 1997 album The Book of Secrets. The 1998 children's book Skellig by David Almond Tristan Jones, in his sailing/travel novel ICE! writes of a visit to the Skellig Isles en route from England to North America in 1961.

Ballinskelligs Abbey - Skellig Ring - County Kerry - Ireland
Coordonnées GPS: 51°48'56.3N 10°16'17.3W
Située sur l'Anneau de Skellig (Skellig Ring), on peut facilement s'y rendre en voiture ou à pied par la plage à partir du stationnement de la plage de Ballinskelligs.
Cette abbaye aurait été fondée au XIIe siècle par des moines ayant abandonné Skellig Michael après avoir subi de nombreuses attaques de la part des Vikings.
Certaines parties du cloître et d'une grande salle domestique sont toujours visibles.
Cet endroit est un des nombreux sites spirituels importants de cette région dédiés à Saint-Michel.
Son emplacement offre une superbe vue du château et de la baie de Ballinskelligs en arrière-plan.

Cliff Experience - Skellig Ring - County Kerry - Ireland
Coordonnées GPS: 51°52'06.0N 10°23'07.9W
Ce site est situé le long de l'Anneau de Skellig (Skellig Ring) derrière le Blasket View House B&B.
On y retrouve un grand stationnement et également un terrain de camping.
Des frais de 4 € en espèces par personne sont exigés pour accéder à l'entrée du site.
Il faut marcher environ une dizaine de minutes pour se rendre aux différents points de vue qui donnent sur les falaises de Kerry.
Ces falaises, qui se trouvent à plus de 300 m au-dessus de l'Atlantique, ont été formées il y a plus de 400 millions d'années.
L'endroit offre un point de vue exceptionnel non seulement sur les spectaculaires falaises de Kerry, mais également de toute la vallée avoisinante.
De par sa localisation, l'endroit est très venteux. Alors, il est préférable de porter un coupe-vent afin de pouvoir profiter pleinement de ces moments passés à observer le panorama ainsi que les différentes colonies d'oiseaux qui peuplent ces falaises.

The Daniel O'Connell Church of the Holy Cross in the town is the only one in Ireland named after a lay person. It is situated on the slopes of Beentee from which I recorded this footage. You can also see the decommissioned Royal Irish Constabulary barracks (white building), now a heritage centre, which according to legend, was built from the plans for a British barracks in India that got mixed up (a very common myth that occurs in many Irish garrison towns). The Cahersiveen railway station was on the Great Southern and Western Railway which ran from Farranfore to Valentia Harbour in the Republic of Ireland (left bridge).
Cnoc na dTobar or Knocknadobar (right mountain in background) was a sacred pilgrim site in prehistoric and medieval times. The Pilgrim Path from the traditional start point near St Furze’s holy well is marked by 14 Stations of the Cross leading to an imposing Celtic Cross on the summit plateau that acts as the pilgrim destination.

A preview of Skellig Beag, off the coast of County Kerry
If you take a boat from Portmagee in County Kerry to see the famous monastic settlement on Skellig Michael, sometimes (weather permitting) the boatman will take you on a short tour of nearby Skellig Beag, home to thousands of gannets and some seal. A very cool trip. Hope you get to do it someday.
