Ring of Kerry, County Kerry, south-western Ireland, Ireland, Europe
The Ring of Kerry is a tourist trail in County Kerry, south-western Ireland. The route covers the 179 km circular road (N70, N71, and R562 road), starting from Killarney, heading around the Iveragh Peninsula and passing through Kenmare, Sneem, Waterville, Cahersiveen and Killorglin. Popular points include Muckross House (near Killarney), Staigue stone fort and Derrynane House, home of Daniel O'Connell. Just south of Killarney, Ross Castle, Lough Leane, and Ladies View (a panoramic viewpoint), all located within Killarney National Park, are major attractions located along the Ring. A more complete list of major attractions along the Ring of Kerry includes: Gap of Dunloe, Bog Village, Rossbeigh Beach, Cahersiveen Heritage Centre, Derrynane House, Skellig Experience, Staigue Fort, Kenmare Lace, Moll's Gap, Ladies View, Torc Waterfall, Muckross House, The Blue Pool, Ross Castle, Ogham Stones, St Mary's Cathedral, Muckross Abbey, Franciscan Friary, Kellegy Church, O'Connell Memorial Church, Sneem Church and Cemetery, Skellig Michael, Beehive Cells and the Stone Pillars marking an important grave. There is also an established walking path named The Kerry Way, which takes its own route, and a signposted Ring of Kerry cycling path which uses older quieter roads where possible. The Kerry Way roughly follows the scenic driving route of the Ring of Kerry. There are numerous variations to the route taking in St. Finian's Bay and Valentia Island which the official driving ring misses (the official cycling route takes in Valentia Island). As well as some fine beaches, it also offers the Gap of Dunloe, Bog Village, Derrynane House, the Skellig Experience Valentia Island, Molls Gap, Torc Waterfall, Muckross House and Ross Castle. The Ring is a popular day trip and numerous bus companies offer trips during the summer months. As the narrow roads make it difficult for tour coaches to pass, all tour buses run in an anti-clockwise (or counter-clockwise) direction, traveling via Killorglin first. It is recommended that car owners travel in the opposite direction, going first to Kenmare to avoid delays caused by tour buses. In 2008 satellite navigation systems were blamed for directing bus drivers in a clockwise direction around the route.

Puck's castle south Dublin Ireland
Puck's castle wasBuilt with sacred stones from the Bearna Dhearg ringfort and forever cursed by the Púca, that's why its named Puck's Castle.
Puck's castle provided shelter for James II in retreat from the Battle of The Boyne in 1690.
With the assistance of French troops, James landed in Ireland in March 1689. The Irish Parliament did not follow the example of the English Parliament; it declared that James remained King and passed a massive bill of attainder against those who had rebelled against him. At James's urging, the Irish Parliament passed an Act for Liberty of Conscience that granted religious freedom to all Roman Catholics and Protestants in Ireland. James worked to build an army in Ireland, but was ultimately defeated at the Battle of the Boyne on 1 July 1690 when William arrived, personally leading an army to defeat James and reassert English control. James fled to France once more, departing from Kinsale, never to return to any of his former kingdoms. Because he deserted his Irish supporters, James became known in Ireland as Séamus an Chaca or 'James the Shit'

Der Ring of Kerry (irisch Mórchuaird Chiarraí) ist eine 179[1] km lange Panoramaküstenstraße im County Kerry im Südwesten Irlands. Busse dürfen den Ring wegen der Enge der Straßen nur in einer Richtung (gegen den Uhrzeigersinn) der irischen Nationalstraße 70 befahren. Die N70 führt um die Iveragh-Halbinsel entweder küstennah oder direkt die Küste entlang von Kenmare über Waterville nach Killorglin; dann landeinwärts über Killarney und wieder nach Kenmare. Eine Wanderversion dieser Straße stellt der Fernwanderweg Kerry Way dar.

Cahergall Stone Fort, Cahersiveen, Kerry, Ireland
Cahergall Ring Fort was built around 600AD, based just outside the town of Cahersiveen, Co. Kerry, Ireland. It is well worth a visit. The current structure has undergone some reconstruction and while the purist may say it is too “clean and pure” it is an impressive site. With walls approximately 6 meters high and some 3 meters thick this dry stone wall fort is one of the best examples of an early medieval stone fort to be found on the ring of Kerry.
