Valentia Slate Quarry

Valentia Slate Quarry: Epic Coastal Cliffs & Industrial Ruins

5.0 (83)

Skip the main tourist bus and head straight to these jagged cliff edges. The sheer scale of the open-pit extraction site against the Atlantic backdrop looks like a post-apocalyptic film set. Give yourself an hour to scramble near the drop-off points for the best photos. Stick to the marked paths if the wind kicks up, as it gets brutal near the edge. Wear actual hiking boots; the shale gets slippery, and your sneakers won't cut it.

Address: Quarry Road, Dohilla, Valentia Island, Kerry
