Dursey Cable Car, Aerial lift between mainland and Dursey Island in County Cork, Ireland.
The cable car system connects the Beara Peninsula mainland to Dursey Island across a 250-meter stretch over the Dursey Sound waters.
The transportation system started operations in 1969 to provide island residents with mainland access and underwent a substantial 1.6 million euro renovation in 2023.
The cable car route passes near ancient monastic ruins and a Napoleonic-era signal tower, reflecting centuries of Irish maritime settlement patterns.
The journey takes 15 minutes each way, with tickets priced at 10 euros for adults and 5 euros for children on a return trip basis.
This transportation method remains the sole cable car system in Ireland, carrying passengers, supplies, and occasionally livestock between the locations.
