Visit Skellig Michael in September

Perhaps you’re Star Wars fan paying homage, a history buff looking for Irish history, or a bird-watcher exploring one of the largest colonies gannets in the world. Skellig Michael has it all.

The Skellig Islands are two jagged rock pinnacles rising above battering Atlantic waves. Today a UNESCO site, 7th-century monks sought this desolate place to live, write and pray in strange but beautiful stone beehive huts.
