Skellig Michael

TBC 2021

Visit Sceilig Mhichíl

Sceilig Mhichíl is a UNESCO designated heritage site off the coast of Ballinskelligs in Co. Kerry. It has long been a centre of pilgrimage and spirituality. Recently it gained notoriety as a location for one of the Star Wars films. Climb the 700 carved stone steps to the sheltered monastic settlement which was home to Augustinian monks for 100's of years. Marvel at how they survived the rugged lifestyle and developed their unique spirituality.

Tháinig na manaigh to dtí an toileán aláinn, iargúlta seo sa 6ú aois. D’fhanadar to dtí gur chuir an droch-aimsir an ruaig orthu sa 13ú aois. Feictear an mhainistir comh maith inniu is a bhí nuair a mhair na manaigh ann fadó. Tá Sceilig Mhichíl faoi stiúir an OPW, a thugann aire dó ar son Rialtais na h-Eireann.

On Day 2, we will explore Valencia Island and the surrounding Ballinskelligs area (which has recently been designated an international Dark Sky Reserve) in the company of our local historian and guide, Mike Moriarty. We will stay in local country house B&B's on Valencia Island.
