Well worth a visit

The Loher stone fort is well worth a visit. It is a little off the beaten track however. We were very impressed with its presentation.

Amazing view from the fort!

The roads are narrow and winding to this one, but we loved the view and walking around the fort. If you are around Waterville, I would recommend.

Best audio/visual in Ireland

We turned up expecting a sub-par audio visual and some rocks in the ground. Boy were we wrong on all counts. The audio visual presentation is extremely professional with some incredible cinematography - well done to the team that made this. It was well worth...More

Magical! Fascinating! Beautiful! Worth the stop if in the Ring of Kerry.

The Ring of Kerry remains to this day perhaps the most interesting, fascinating, beautiful road trip I have ever taken in my life. The Loher Stone was one of the high points. Let's just skip the fact that it is in the middle of this...More

Beautiful and peaceful

A bit off the tourist path but well worth it. Nobody was there when we went. Beautiful scenary surrounds the fort. Pictures came out beautifully. Getting there through narrow road was fun as well.

Easy access

I would highly recommend visiting this fort. The drive down from the main Ring of Kerry road is via a single lane road like many other roads in Kerry but this is not a big challenge. My kids loved the fort and it really got...More
