Ballinskelligs Castle or Mc Cahrthy's Tower

Ballinskelligs Bay

Skellig Ring · County Kerry

At Ballinskelligs Bay, McCarthy Mór Tower is a real eye catcher. This tower house was built in the 16th century on a narrow headland to protect the bay. A little further west there is a 12th century abbey and a little further on the Ballinskelligs Pier, from where boats for the Skellig Islands depart.
