Geokaun Mountain and Fogher Cliffs are located on Valentia Island in County Kerry, in the south west of Ireland. Geokaun is the highest mountain on the island at 270 metres (888 feet), as well as being one of the highest points in County Kerry. Fogher Cliffs are on the northern face and form the edge between this mountain and the Atlantic Ocean, they are sea cliffs of 180 metres (600 feet). The panoramic views from the here are simply spectacular, visitors can see the Skellig Islands, Bray Head, Blasket Islands, Dingle Peninsula, MacGillycuddy Reeks, several other mountain ranges, Valentia Harbour and out across the Atlantic Ocean.

Visitors have the option of walking or driving to the peak. The walk is not particularly long but is very steep. There are three car parking areas on the way up, the last car park leaves you about ten feet from the view point. There are a number of picnic benches in sheltered areas where visitors can stop and enjoy their lunch.
