Enjoy the unspoilt beauty of Scattery Island, home to a monastic settlement founded in the early 6th century. There are the ruins of six churches and one of the highest Round Towers in Ireland, with the unusual feature of it’s door at ground level. Scattery has suffered at the hands of many invaders including the Vikings during the early 9th century but Brian Boru later recaptured the island.  An exhibition of the history of the island is housed in the visitor reception building, which is situated near the pier.

Scattery Island offers a great family day out. Book your trip to the island with Scattery Island Ferry Service. Don’t forget to pack a picnic or even enjoy a swim while on the island and make memories to treasure for years to come.
