Jutting out steeply from the Atlantic Ocean about 12 km off the Irish coast, Michael's Rock attracts with its remoteness and mystery. The island, often veiled with clouds, is a home to mysterious 7th century monastic remains. Little is known about the brotherhood and their practices but the Spartan conditions inside the monastery and the beehive stone huts do make you think of the ascetic and deeply-devoted life of the early Irish Christians. Due to the distance, the island is not very popular with visitors and hence extremely well-preserved. Do go to breathe in some elusiveness and enigma!
