If you love the Ring of Kerry and want to discover it the non-tourist way, then the Skellig Ring is for you!…
Beware: the Ballinskelligs chocolate factory is likely to make more than one visitor lose his or her mind! Chocolate flows freely here,…
Find a comfortable place to stay and make the most of your trip to Ireland.
Ballinskelligs, a hidden village on Ireland’s wild Kerry coast, is a place where history and natural beauty meet. This picturesque village invites you to explore its rich past through the ruins of Ballinskelligs Abbey and the towers that stand like silent sentinels along the coast. Every stone and every bend in the coastal road tells a story, from the monks who sought refuge here in the Middle Ages to the fishermen who braved the Atlantic.
There is no shortage of places of interest: Ballinskelligs Beach is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts, while hikers will be amazed by the views along the Skellig Ring road.
The Skellig Islands, visible in the distance, add to the magic of the place, especially for Star Wars fans who will recognise the silhouettes of Skellig Michael, used as a filming location in the latest films of the saga.
The local culture is also a treasure to discover, with traditional Irish music sessions echoing through the pubs, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere. Ballinskelligs is an invitation to an adventure where every moment is steeped in history and natural beauty.
