Knightstown

Knightstown sits on Valentia Island, reached by crossing the Maurice O'Neill Memorial Bridge from Portmagee on the N70 Ring of Kerry route. It's about 45 minutes from Killarney, making it a handy day trip when touring the Ring. The settlement overlooks the Atlantic and the Skellig Islands from one of Ireland's most westerly points. You'll find 6 public EV chargers here, which is grand given how remote it is. The original transatlantic telegraph cable station from 1858 still stands, marking where the first official message crossed the Atlantic by wire.
