RING OF KERRY

Sunday 19th

Our stop last night Glenbeigh Village was very pretty

It has a hive of information, I didn’t not know about horse shoes or Ogham Language - see if you can figure it out.

What does the sign say?

After breakfast our journey around the Ring started with the first stop not a castle (even though the sign had a castle and flag - means beach castles). Kells Bay was worth the detour.

We then drove out to Doulus Head and visited Cahergall Stone Fort

And Ballycarbey Castle for morning tea.

Then we jumped on to Skellig Ring road which was spectacular.

Scenery is very similar to NZ south island. What a glorious weather to do the ring in, definitely can see why you wouldn’t want to do it in bad weather, you wouldn’t see anything.

Our journey continued on over the pass and we stopped for lunch in Ballinskelligs Bay

During lunch we decided should drive on and make night base at Glengariff but shortly after Sneem, Parnasilla we got a flat tyre awaiting tyre man to come out presently – the view is pretty good of the Kenmare River.

Lovely little spot that could be ideal for freedom camping we shall see. Have just heard from tyre guy and he said he is 45 minutes away - 4.20pm.

PS
We finally got onto the road again at 6pm. Tyre man came from Tralee. Drove to Glengariff but wifi was shocking, so could not post this blog but they did have a bar in campground- all was not lost.
