Tour Recap - Thin Places Tour of Ireland - the South
This is a five-minute recap of the Thin Places Mystical Tour of Ireland tour or 2011. Guests traveled to the southern region of Ireland.
They began in Dublin as most Ireland tours do - being close to the airport. First stops were the Hill of Tara and the Boyne Valley with the Newgrange passage tomb. Then a stop in Kildare to visit Solas Bhride the center run by the Brigidine sisters who embrace the spirit of St. Brigid in the place where Brigid began her ministry. Then on to St. Brigid's Cathedral and Holy Well.
A stop at Holy Cross Abbey in Thurles to view the relic of the true cross, then a two-day stop in Cashel to see the Rock of Cashel, Hoare (Hore) Abbey and Athassel Priory (all monastic ruins).
Following the path of another saint, the group visited Ardmore and the ruins of St. Declan's monastery along with St. Declan's rock and holy well, followed by a mystical journey to Drombeg Stone Circle and Gouganne Barra - the site of a monastery founded by St. Finbarr.
Then on to the Beara Peninsula with a scenic drive through the Caja Mountaines with stops at the Uragh Stone Circle, the Hag of Beara, the Children of Lir monument and the town of Allihies.
The tour concluded with a stay on the Dingle Peninsula with views of Slea Head and the Blasket Islands and stops at many megaliths including the Gallarus Oratory, Dunbeg Fort and view of ancient ogham stones.

Scenic Drive: Healy Pass, The Beara Peninsula, County Cork/Kerry, Ireland

Sit back and enjoy the ride!
The R574 is an Irish regional road in the Beara peninsula which crosses the Caha Mountains via the (Tim) Healy Pass.[1] It runs from the R571 at Adrigole in County Cork to the R572 near Lauragh in County Kerry.[1] It is a popular tourist route with the pass at an altitude of 300m giving panoramas towards Bantry Bay to the south-east and the Kenmare River to the north-west.
The original track, called the Kerry Pass, was cut during the Great Famine as a poor relief public works project. It was renamed for Timothy Michael Healy, former Governor-General of the Irish Free State, who died in 1931 shortly after the road was improved.[2] The name Healy Pass is now also applied to the pass itself, previously called Ballaghscart or Ballyscarta, anglicisations of Irish: Bealach Scairte, which remains its Irish name
