An island located in the southwest of Ireland, at the westernmost point of the southern coast of Dingle Bay. It is 11 km long, 3 km wide, and has an area of 26 km2. There are mountains about 250 m above sea level in the north and west. The population is about 900. Valencia was named by Spanish pirates who used to base themselves here, and in Irish it is called Dairbhre (meaning "oak forest"). In the mid-17th century, O. Cromwell, the Englishman who conquered Ireland, drove out the Spanish and established a garrison here to protect the west coast from plunder.
