The Ring of Kerry is a circular driving route that is 179 km around the Iveragh peninsula. It weaves through many different landscapes and seaside towns. There are some awesome mountains and valleys carved out from glacial activity with filling of some of these areas to form inlets and bays. I took a bus tour from Cork.
Killarney National Park we used a horse drawn carriage as it was raining at the time.
Red deer.
Japanese Sika deer were brought to Killarney for hunting and for a new breed in the park.
In Killorglin, a wild male goat is captured in the mountains and held on a raised platform to reign over the the Puck Fair that is held in August. This festival is one of the oldest in Europe and has been occurring since the 4th century.
The Kerry Big Village is a little place that has ancient remnants from old Ireland (18th/19th century). It reconstructed the ways people lived and what they did to survive. There are remnants of old houses, and many antiques and (my highlight) the Irish wolfhounds they let run around with us.
Charlie Chaplin sculpture. He lived here for some time and some of his relatives are still here in Waterville.
Monument era dyed to explorers and travelers. It is a large sundial.
Traveling through Beenarourke.
Sneem. Unfortunately a lot of places are closed for the winter but the beauty of the off season is there are not a lot of people!
Sculptures created for a best town competition.
Pictures while stopping along the ring of Kerry.
The Torc waterfall. I love how everyone r where we went the moss covered the rocks and trees making it very fairy-like.
