Not Sure I Mentioned This, but........

Not sure I mentioned this, but did I tell you the roads are very, very, narrow. Our Polish driver today took us around the Ring Of  Beara

Arguably the most spectacular, a route less popular than the Ring of Kerry but a most when visiting Ireland. The Ring of Beara runs the town of Glengarrif in county Cork to Kenmare in county Kerry, The Long way around. Glengarriff is a small village offering Boat trips to Garnish Island famous for their wonderful Italian garden. From Glengarrif to Castletownbere at Adrigole is the turn off to the Healy Pass, a winding road that cuts through the mountains to the village of Lauragh.


Next stop Allihies, a former copper mining town. Eyeries is a village known for art and seaside beauty leading you to Ardgroom and Lauragh which leads you to Kenmare. On the way to Kenmare you find the best accommodations and a wide choice of restaurants.

We were on the Ring of Kerry yesterday and what we saw was enough. Huge tour buses coming at us on the narrow roads. So we thought we would go on the smaller of the two today. It took us  about 5 hrs.

From Killarney to Kenmare you will find a selection of the finest accommodation and restaurants which

Now we are back at the B & B. Rick and Sandy are napping, Mike is journaling. I am blogging
