Take the Skywalk

The Skywalk is a rope bridge with a length of 112 feet, Ireland’s longest rope-bridge. It spans the Delligeenagh River, at a height of approximately 36 feet, on the river’s course through Kells Bay Gardens, Co. Kerry. The inspiration for the rope-bridge derives from the rainforest and jungle plant exploration trips made by Billy Alexander, the current owner of Kells Bay House and Gardens. All the site preparation, foundations and steel work from which the bridge is suspended was completed using local materials and expertise, the bridge was fabricated and hung by a team of specialists from abroad.
