Skellig rocks, eight
miles off the west Kerry coast
This was once the spartan
retreat of a group of hardy monks, who sheltered, from all that the
elements had to test them with, in the stone beehive-shaped cells at
the summit of the Island of Skellig Michael.
These islands are steeped
in atmosphere and history. There has occasionally been talk of closing
the island to sightseers so, if you can, put this on your itinerary. It
is worth it just for the experience of the crossing.
