    Going camping on Valentia Island, never been before. I know there's good hikes on the island, what else is there? Water/boat based activities? Horse riding?
    Is there any pubs or places to eat dinner etc? Thanks !

    A lot of these are mentioned on the website above but here are the ones I enjoy.
    A walk to the top of Bray Head.
    Great views from the top of Geokaun Mountain - you will get fit walking up. its steeeep
    Don't miss the dinosaur footprints at the Tetrapod Trackway.
    The views from the slate quarry are superb.

    Eating-wise there are good places to eat in Knightstown. You could also go to Portmagee, there'e a few there.
    Best of all is The Point Bar, just off the ferry on the mainland.
    Valentia Island Farmhouse Dairy is a farm that makes ice cream.
