The Beara and Killarney

It absolutely bucketed down last night, but it has brightened up a bit this morning to have look at Glengarriff. Then we drove the south leg of the Beara peninsula to the fishing port of Castletownbere where we brought some very fresh haddock for dinner. Then drove between the mountains and back along the rugged north coast to Kenmare. From here the N71 has a long winding ascent to Molls Gap where it becomes the eastern leg of the Ring of Kerry.


The descent from here is something special, winding down through the forest full of bluebells beside the Lakes of Killarney  National park. Stopped briefly at Ladies View for photos and then again at Torc Falls. Found a very good site for 4 nights over the bank holiday that is half hour walk from Killarney. No TV (yet) but good WiFi and showers.
