Lambay Island

About

Located some 16km off the Dublin coast, Lambay Island was originally one of Ireland's early Christian monasteries, looted by Viking raiders in 795AD. Now privately owned, Lambay is home to a medieval castle, a bird sanctuary and a herd of about 200 deer. Due to its deep surrounding waters, the island is a particularly popular location for scuba-divers. The island is accessible only by prior permission from Rogerstown Harbour, 27km north of Dublin in Rush.
