Skellig Michael is a mystical island that sits 8 miles off the coast of Ireland and towers more than 700 feet above sea level. A group of monks settled there and built a monastery as early as the sixth century that still stands today. Not only is the island beautiful, but it’s also a movie filming location you can actually visit. Fans of “Star Wars” might recognize the island as Luke Skywalker’s home in the latest “Star Wars” films.
