Valentia Island Lighthouse
Embrace the rugged and exposed elements of the southwest coast and gain an understanding of what life was like for a lightkeeper and their families on Valentia Island. Located in one of the most scenic points on the edge of Europe, Valentia lighthouse is home to the most westerly harbour light on mainland Ireland. This light guides vessels from the sea and leads them through the northern entrance of Valentia Harbour and up past Harbour Rock.

Valentia Transatlantic Cable Station
The idea of a transatlantic cable was first proposed in 1845, but the distances and depths presented formidable problems. In 1856 the Atlantic Telegraph Company was registered with a capital of £350,000 (then about $1,400,000).

Great place to visit if your a cyclist & like Strava. Some steep hills to suffer up. Rewarding views at the tops of them 👍

A beautiful island with beautiful villages and sights to see. It has a very ultimate weather. The cliff and sight seeing you can see here is overwhelming.

Extremely beautiful western end of Europe. Pretty green everywhere you look and the sea is a little tough. Tetrapod tracks and ferry ride with lighthouse are some places to visit. There’s a bridge that joins to the mainland at Portmagee.

Nothing much to do as such in the islands but you can plan a stay there. It's has got a calm beach in a tiny town. Drive around here is beautiful.
