Valentia (Cahersiveen) - Activities Attractions And Shopping

Aug 04, 2018

Cahersiveen is a popular spot for nightlife, where you are likely to find a lively traditional music session in any one of the local pubs. Traditional set dancing is also popular. One of the highlights of the year is the Cahersiveen Celtic Music Festival held on the August Bank Holiday weekend each year.

Skellig Rock about 7.5 NM off Bray Head is a UNESCO World Heritage site with ruins of a monastery founded in the 6th century. This is a highly recommended side trip during the season from May-September but particularly earlier in the period when many seabirds are nesting. It is not recommended to attempt to visit Skellig with your own vessel due to the difficulty (impossibility?) of anchoring in the vicinity of Skellig and the inevitable surge at the Skellig landing which will prevent safe landing from a yacht tender. It is NOT possible, due to overhanging rocks, to bring a sailing vessel to the landing at Skellig.
