Staigue Stone Fort

Beautifully preserved & restored stone fort. It gives glorious views of the landscape around, and is both free & accessible. Small car park nearby

A unique stop along the Ring of Kerry! It was lashing rain but we still enjoyed going into the fort and even climbing up the rocks a bit. The scenery is stunning with sheep roaming around. I especially enjoyed the local paintings sold at the entrance and purchased one with an image of the fort on it. A lovely keepsake!

The opportunity to stand inside Staigue Stone Fort and consider how many lives had passed over that ground in the 1700 years since it was built was wonderful ... and thought provoking. The roadway in is a bit of a challenge as it is several KM's of single lane, but everyone was polite, pulled over, and passage was achieved by all. There is a parking lot for about 20 cars, as well as public toilets. There is a 2 Euro fee box at the entry. The fort is well maintained and the view is extraordinary, from the treeless bowl surrounding it to the distant ocean.

Fascinating look into the past with a nominal entry fee on the honor system. But beware! The road in from the Ring of Kerry is one lane and very narrow!

Absolute amazing experience! You can look around this great structure with a stunning view. The history is so intriguing and going inside the walls is jsut a lot of fun!

Easy to get to and plenty of parking! Beautiful views and really fun to explore! There is a donation box so make sure you have some cash on you.

Comparable to Cahergal Stone Fort, without the middle section. Decent size, decent view. I liked this one but if you are really tight for time, Cahergal (Kerry) and Grianan of Aileach (Donegal) are better experiences in my opinion. Definitely better views, especially the one in Donegal!!

Ruins of an old chieftain stronghold, all built without mortar. It’s 1€ per person by donation, and free to roam once inside. You can also climb on top the walls. Worth the drive from the main ring of Kerry, road a bit narrow but well worth it !
