Blasket Islands, Ireland: the village, the wildlife, Peig Sayers & getting to the Great Blasket

A trip to the Blasket Islands off the southwest coast of Ireland, is a unique experience. These now abandoned islands inspired the celebrated literary works of Peig Sayers and Tomas O'Crohan, and what's left of their homes and the village they lived in can been visited today on the Great Blasket. Getting to the island however, can be quite a challenge, but the beautiful wildlife that has thrived on the island, and the stunning Atlantic views are worth the effort.

I have lived in Kerry for 10 years and this is the closest I have ever been to the Blaskets. Thanks!

My grandparents sailed past the blaskets back in 2009. The weather was foul and the waves were rough, but they made it through.

I hope they felt their persistence was rewarded x

@@Theladytravels oh, yes it was. They successfully made it to Dingle, where they spent a good ten days recovering from the vigorous passage, before eventually moving on to the Kenmare River down south.

The Skelligs get all the spotlight because of Star Wars, but for me i'll prefere the Blaskets all the time. As they say: "True Irish"!

Terrible narration

[@Theladytravels]

Thank you for your terrible comment x

[@johnmurphy9601]

Let me retract my earlier comment; it was a little harsh😁. The video footage and content is very good. My recommendation is that someone else should do the narration, but it terms of video footage and general information; it's a good video.
