Skellig Islands

World Heritage Site & Star Wars

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 6th Century monastic settlement. Of course, it recently hosted the film crew as the set for the latest Star Wars movie ‘The Force Awakens’.
