Waterville (An CoireÁn) “The Little Whirlpool”, is the premier coastal tourist centre, with blue flag beaches, on the Ring of Kerry. It has attracted many celebrities through the years including Charlie Chaplin & family. Waterville nestles between Ballinskelligs Bay & Lough Currane, you will find mountains and lakeland with the added advantage of the sea on your doorstep. Traditional market days are still held in the area, where young and old, visitors and locals meet and chat. A visit to Waterville ensures intimate bars, superb food and a wide range of shops.
David also visited the Skellig Islands off the south coast of Kerry. The magnificent Skellig Islands lie 8 miles (12 km) off the coast of Portmagee in South West Kerry. Rising majestically from the sea, Skellig Michael towers 714ft. (218 metres) above sea level. On the summit of this awe-inspiring rock you will find a remarkably well preserved sixth century monastic settlement. On the spectacular Small Skelligs 23,000 pairs of gannet nest on every available ledge making it the second largest gannet colony in the world.
