Loved It!! Makes the top 3 list!

This is a must stop! Unplanned detour, followed the sign 4km down a narrow road but well worth it. Not crowded at all, a measly 1 euro to enter (honor system). My boys had a blast climbing all over and finding storage rooms to burrow...More

Awesome

Literally awesome. To think it’s been there for 2500 years...and has lasted. They don’t build things like they used to. Worth the drive.

Cool Circular Fortress is Worth the Short But Twisty Drive

Staigue Fort is one of the ancient attractions along the Ring of Kerry and, in our view, likely one of the best. The Fort is located along the south to south eastern end of the ring, in an area we thought was among the best...More

Very big and cool

This is a pretty impressive round, stone fort. It’s fairly large and you can walk inside, around some stair cases, in some little storerooms. No one was there when we went. It’s a fairly long drive down a single lane road, by some farms and...More

Hidden treasure fort

This fort was very cool. Then again, I love forts. There a bunch of forts in Ireland and this one was great. There aren't many tourists that come here. Rick Steeves mentioned it before. It was a great stop and it loved taking photos of...More

Very interesting and peaceful

Enjoyed this slight detour. Very impressive and beautiful scenery. I wouldn’t necessarily classify this as a “can’t miss,” particularly if you are able to hit other ring forts, but it was quite interesting. Very narrow roads getting there as is the case in so many...More

Cool historic stone fort

Arrived late in day circa 845p but was still light because of summer. Had the whole place to ourselves, which was nice. Saw Cahergill Stone Fort that same morning, and this is is steeper and scarier. Liked Cahergill better.

There is A windy thin road leading up to the fort but it is totally worth the drive. There is A car park which is handy. There is A honesty box where you have to pay €1 per group/person. There is then an information board....More
