Knockroe summit is 539 m (1,768 ft) high with amazing views of the surrounding peaks and flat lands to the south. Mant people will climb this on the way up to Mount Leinster to the north or miss it altogether as they head up the higher hill, it's a great top so do make the effort!

This 25-meter-high lighthouse (115 steps to climb) was built at the end of the world in the 13th century, on the site of a fire that had been continuously maintained since the 5th century to guide boats. Below, foaming waves crash against the black schist rocks, swept along by strong winds.

Tintern Bridge in Saltmills is a single-arch, humpback stone bridge dating from 1817, built over the Tintern Stream. It has a pronounced curved back and an elegant, wide arch that gracefully spans the water. The structure consists of:

This Cistercian abbey, situated in a valley northeast of the peninsula, was founded in 1200 by the Norman William de Clare. During his first voyage to Ireland, he was caught in a storm and vowed to found an abbey if he survived. Monks inhabited the site until the 16th century, after which the abbey was owned by the Colclough family for almost 400 years. The complex, which offers a highly photogenic view from the fortified bridge, has preserved magnificent remains, including an imposing battlemented tower.

The Port Láirge shipwreck (also known as the "Saltmills Shipwreck") is an iconic remnant of a steam dredger resting in the mud of Bannow Bay, near St. Kearns Quay in County Wexford. On August 26, 1987, the ship sailed under its own power from Waterford to Bannow Bay. It ran aground during a storm or through the shallow waters of the bay near St. Kearns. It has lain there rusting ever since. Today, the wreck is a popular location for photographers and filmmakers because of its dramatic, rusty appearance against the tides.

Winter break until March – we hadn't been informed of that. The large parking lot was also locked up. Since it was empty enough in the stormy December weather, we were able to pull over and walk along the road for a bit. On this clear winter day, it was an incredible experience; the spray was flying onto the road.

Open from mid-March to early November; the prices Birgit mentioned are still current. We were there in December. You can still walk around the ruins and get a good impression.

Beautiful sea view
