Valentia Island, a remarkable historical site, can be reached by road and car ferry. Knightstown, the main settlement on the island, is intelligently organized by the Knight of Kerry and evolved around the harbour.
Valentia Island is famous for numerous historical buildings that date back to the mid 1800’s during the Cable era, the time when the First Transatlantic cable was established. Visitors can explore the location from where the First Transatlantic Cable journeyed from Valentia Island to Newfoundland in Canada, thus connecting Europe and America in 1866.
