Local historian Des Lavelle takes us on a trip to the Skelligs. There are two islands in the group, Skellig Michael and Small Skellig. The island are 12 kilometres off the Kerry coast.
Lavelle explores the extraordinary Early Christian monastic settlement with its stone beehive huts. The island were used in recent Stars Wars movies.
As we are being encouraged to holiday in Ireland, this book will be an invaluable guide, if you wish to explore the beautiful South Kerry islands.
Boat trips leave from the lovely village of Portmagee.
