Just a short drive away is Slea Head the most western point in Ireland, where whales, basking sharks and sunfish may sometimes be seen.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\nThe area is rich in history. Just behind the B&B are the ruins of Ferriter\u2019s Castle, where the poet and soldier Piaras Feirit\u00e9ar (or Pierce Ferriter) was born. He was one of the last Irish Chieftains to be defeated by the Oliver Cromwell\u2019s forces. He was hanged in Killarney in 1652 (see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ferriterfamily.com\/heritage\/pierce_ferriter_our_great_patron\/\">Pierce Ferriter \u2013 our great patron<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/ferriter.blogspot.ie\/2009\/12\/treasure-of-fortune.html\">Treasure of Fortune<\/a>)<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\nThe <a href=\"http:\/\/homepage.eircom.net\/~mickmongey\/FerritersCove.html\" target=\"_blank\">oldest settlement in Kerry<\/a> was recently excavated on the shores of Ferriter\u2019s Cove and was dated to around 4,000 B.C. The area boasts the greatest concentration of archaeological sites in Ireland, with a number of important monastic settlements, including Reask, Gallarus and Kilmalkedar. One of the most famous saints from the area was St. Brendan the Navigator, who legend says discovered America.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ferriterscove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/coastguard-station.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"coastguard-station\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-281\" loading=\"lazy\">Overlooking Ferriter\u2019s Cove are the ruins of a Coastguard Tower on top of Ceann Sib\u00e9al (Sybil Head). Constructed to protect against invasion, it was one of many famine relief projects to help the poor earn money to buy food. The Coastguard Station on the top of Ceann Sib\u00e9al was 40 feet high and 30 feet square. From the Coastguard Station, the sister towers on the Great Blasket and Ballydavid Head can be seen. Care needs to be taken at the top as there is a sheer cliff of nearly 700 feet. Permission to pass through the fields to visit the Tower may be required from the landowners.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ferriterscove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/pint.jpg?resize=300%2C399\" alt=\"pint\" width=\"300\" height=\"399\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-265\" loading=\"lazy\">Ferriter\u2019s Cove is in a Gaeltacht region \u2013 where the Irish language is in daily use.
