The Saltee Islands lie off the South Wexford coast, visible from Kilmore Quay and the main Wexford – Duncannon road. I’ve seen them regularly them since I was a child but they were like a mythical place to me that I’d never been to. We finally got there this summer,…
We visited Spike Island on June Bank Holiday Monday. We booked online with Fortress Spike Island, Cork and paid €65.90 for our family of 2 adults & 3 children. When booking online you choose a boat departure time, we chose 11am and returned at 2.30pm. (We booked Fota which is…
