    Cycling

    This island on the Wild Atlantic Way is an absolute must-stop. From the 365 million-year-old Tetrapod footprints to the site of the first trans-atlantic telegraph cable: Valentia breathes history.
    Cycle to the iconic lighthouse or conquer Geokaun Mountain for a spectacular 360-degree view over the Dingle Peninsula and the Skellig Islands. Whether you take the bridge from Portmagee or the ferry at Reenard, the mix of rugged cliffs, subtropical gardens and the charm of Knightstown makes this an unforgettable route.

    Road cycling

    Valentia Island is accessible either via ferry at Knightstown or via bridge at Portmagee. There are stunning views throughout the island, whichever way you turn. It is one of Ireland's most westerly points and is truly worth the extra miles to visit by bike.
