At the south-west tip of the Wild Atlantic Way lies the Skellig Ring drive. Coastal roads, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and galactic exiles sit side by side here and it's been named Best in Travel 2017 by Lonely Planet. Here’s why it’s so special…
The Skellig Ring is a thrilling coastal drive and extension of the famous Ring of Kerry on Ireland’s magnificent Wild Atlantic Way. It's as scenic as they come, winding around an unspoiled peninsula, cute towns and backed by stunning mountain and island views.
Which is where The Skelligs come in. Rising from the Atlantic 12km (8 miles) from shore, the two remote islands have been revered for centuries.
