Description
Skellig Experience the Extraordinary Discover two of Ireland's most breathtaking islands, Skellig Michael and Small Skellig, off the coast of Kerry. This book takes you on a journey to explore their unique history, geology, plant life, birdlife, including the massive gannet colony, and more. The author delves into the story of an extraordinary, isolated Early Christian monastic settlement with its distinctive stone 'beehive' huts. He also describes the island's rich wildlife, including seals and the underwater world. With a growing interest in these spectacular islands, driven by Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way and recent film adaptations, this book offers a comprehensive and accessible look at a truly unique place. A beautiful and informative book on Skellig Michael and Small Skellig, perfect for anyone interested in history, nature, or birdwatching.
