Ring of Kerry

admin

the Ring of Kerry is one of the Peninsula‘s you must drive through when you go to Ireland. Like other parts of Ireland and especially a long day wild Atlantic Way it has an amazing beauty. You feel like wanting to stop every 10 or 15 minutes to take photos.

There are many kinds of restaurants along the way even in the small villages. This one has an interesting name.
Seems like interesting advertising
Reminds me of what we used to say as kids
Beautiful river
An old bridge connecting a road not much used
Beautiful river and some farms
A farmhouse

Cahergall Stone Fort

the base of this fort is more than 1000 years old

Views from the top of the fort
This is another fort in the distance
This was obviously another large structure many centuries ago
People who dedicated themselves to building this parking and viewpoint
I’m not sure what this fellow was doing there with his dogs and his lambs

Derrynane, the home of the patriot Daniel O’Connell

Very old and much used English language dictionaries from Dr. Samuel Johnson, the original compiler of the English language
This was given to O’Connell for his contribution to the attempts to undo the union with England and to establish an Irish parliament
O’Connell was arrested for his attempts to break the union with England and when he was Leth out of prison his supporters drove him away in this hand built carriage reminiscent of Roman emperors carriages
