Soaring to 214m, the striated stone reaches its long fingers southward to counties Cork and Kerry beyond, and from O’Brien’s Tower those with a keen eye may even be able to spot the Aran Islands to the north.

On a calm day, keep an eye out for any ripples in the water – breaching basking sharks and friendly dolphin pods are a common sight.
