At 238m Bray Head is a dedicated Marilyn. I didn't have a good weather day here on my visit which is a pity as the island looks beautiful. A good reason to return.

July 16, 2024,Irland Südwesten - Valentia Island / Brey Tower und Brey Head

A short trip on Ireland's westernmost island, Valentia Island. The way to the Tower Walk is on a well-marked gravel path, the Bray Head Tower Walk, and the rest of the way to the summit is on a path over the island's spectacular cliffs. The way back leads back to the starting point on a wild trail through the moorland.

September 16, 2024,Bray Head auf Valentia Island

On the tour around the Ring of Kerry I made a little detour to Valentia Island. It was very windy and I have sore muscles from climbing Carrauntoohil. There won't be many more hikes. I'll probably walk the entire Ring of Kerry today, then look for a campsite and just do nothing for two days.

September 1, 2023,Ireland💚an der Atlantikküste🌊- Siúlóid Lúb Ceann Bhré (Bray Head Loop Walk)

This tour is the second of our two tours of the western end of Kerry County, this time on Valentia Island.

A nice little tour, but you should take it with caution on the way down, as you could literally sink into the mud😉 (I've exaggerated a little).
