A warm welcome awaits you at Skellig Gift Store located on the main Ring of Kerry road, just outside the picturesque coastal village of Waterville, Co. Kerry, Ireland.

We invite you to come and browse in spacious, friendly and beautiful surroundings. Skellig Gift Store  is a unique and extensive visitor attraction showcasing Irish heritage, craft and design.
