We could not have visited Ireland without spending some time on the Wild Atlantic Way and along the Ring of Kerry. There's so much history and so many sights there, we would have felt unfulfilled if we'd left it out! We chose as our base a very nice house on Valentia Island. The island has a permanent population of 665, and has a pleasant, unhurried small town vibe to it. The coastline here is profoundly beautiful, with sweeping cliffs and stunning beaches, and of course the wild Atlantic crashing continuously along its length. This area is the home of the Skellig islands -- Little Skellig and Skellig Michael. We could see them from the hills not far from our house. We did a lot of roaming in the too-short month we were there; the best part was that our daughter Rhiannon came to join us!
