With fantastic views, the trail leads here between field stone walls over wide sheep pastures. Stop here to let your gaze wander over the bay Ballinskelligs Bay. Far out in the Atlantic, you can even see the rugged rocks of the famous Skellig Islands.

Hiking

If you have the chance, you should definitely visit the Skellig Islands. Endless stairs lead up to the ancient klister system with beehive huts, puffins nest next to the path and only move slightly to the side for visitors. One of Ireland's most impressive beauties, which only a few visitors are allowed to visit each day.
