Spectacular views from Valentia Island scheme

HOPING to renew long-standing trans-Atlantic crossing links is Kerry’s Valentia Island.

A new 220-berth yacht marina currently under construction is hoping to pick up sailors and craft after long and lonely Atlantic crossings, and already Valentia has a place in history for its role in landing radio signals from the seas, via its link with Marconi.

Stepping in the breach, if not the beach (that beach is nearby), is a scheme of 12 apartments recently completed at Knightstown, at the tip of Valentia Island.
