Gorgeous views, even in the rain

It costs five euro to drive up the mountain (the highest point on Valentia Island), and then there are three parking areas to choose from. We went in rainy weather, and it was quite windy, so we only did the walk to the scenic Fogher...More

We were hoping for a miracle!

We had been urged to go up to this viewsite on Valentia Island, hoping that we would have at least one clear day out of the three we spent in the area, but hey, we were in the land where Murphy's law originated! The day...More

Fabulous views

First I thought it was a bit pricey just to see some views, but at 5 euro per car, not per person, it turned out to be worth it. There are several viewpoints and lots of information signs.

Fabulous cliff walk

This is a fabulous Cliff walk with magnificent views, can't believe I'd never heard of it, well worth a visit while on Valentia. You have to pay 5 euro per car but it is worth it. So peaceful, with great views of the Skelligs

Perfect hideout

This place is an absolute gem. Big portion of the West Coast can be seen. Many main Valencia sites can be seen too. Theres a small fee at the entrance but totally worth. Can get breezy at the top!

Valencia Island

If you enjoy easy to moderate hiking and breathtaking scenery you must explore Valencia (Valentia) Island. We were impressed by Geokaun Mountain and Fogher Cliffs. Skip St. Brendan's well. The farmer closed the last part of the road when we tried to drive there.

Great views but you do have to pay.

Great views and great to be able to drive all the way up when you have young children. We were surprised to be charged and hadn’t anticipated this but very friendly staff 👍
