13 Ireland Ring of Kerry and Ross Castle
The Ring of Kerry is a 111 mile scenic tourist route in County Kerry, south western Ireland. Clockwise from Kilarney, it follows the N71 to Kenmare, then the N70 around the Iveragh Peninsula to Killorglin passing through Sneem, Waterville, Cahersiveen, and Glenbeigh before returning to Killarney via the N72. Basically, it's a trip around the island's southwestern tip.
Unique to Kilarney, is the horse drawn jaunting car ride through the National Park to ancient Ross Castle. Ross Castle is a 15th century tower house and keep on the edge of Lough Leane in Killarney National Park. We have pictures of Ross Castle and some from across the lake.
As we were driven through Ireland, we came across a statue of that fabled goat, King Puck. The annual Puck Fair is reputed to be one of Ireland's oldest fairs. It takes place annually for three days beginning on the 10th of August. The first day of Puck Fair is Gathering Day, where the goat is enthroned on a stand in the town square and the great horse fair is held.
Driving through Cahersiveen, we came across the Statue for the Monks. We also stopped by the Charlie Chaplin statue in Waterville on the Atlantic Ocean. From there we went on to the Scarriff Inn with Ireland's Best Known View (Fog Permitting) from Vista Bar . It was a beautiful day with no fog and we had a nice lunch while enjoying a very fine view.

Quiet Man Bridge - Oughterard - County Galway - Ireland
Pont de L'Homme Tranquille - Oughterard - Comté Galway - Irlande
Coordonnées GPS: 53°25'37.5N 9°25'21.4W
Ce pont a été rendu célèbre grâce au film The Quiet Man (L'Homme Tranquille) réalisé par John Wayne en 1952. Lui et Maureen O'Hara en étaient les principaux acteurs. Le film a d'ailleurs reçu deux Oscars.
Dans une scène du film, l'acteur est sur ce pont de pierre et on le voit découvrir un magnifique paysage d'Irlande.
Le pont est toujours intact. Une photo de l'acteur a été placée à proximité du pont pour commémorer cet événement.
Par ailleurs, un circuit de randonnée balisé débute à cet endroit et permet aux randonneurs de retourner sur les traces des plus importants lieux de tournage de ce film.

Ross Castle, Killarney, Co. Kerry
Ross Castle was built in the late 15th century by local ruling clan the O'Donoghues Mor (Ross), though ownership changed hands during the Second Desmond Rebellion of the 1580s to the Mac Carty Mor. He then leased the castle and the lands to Sir Valentine Browne ancestor of the Earls of Kenmare. The castle was amongst the last to surrender to Oliver Cromwell's Roundheads during the Irish Confederate Wars, and was only taken when artillery was brought by boat via the River Laune.[1] Lord Muskerry (MacCarty) held the castle against General Ludlow who marched to Ross with 4000 foot soldiers and 200 horse; however, it was by water that he attacked the stronghold. The Irish had a prophecy that Ross could never be taken until a warship could swim on the lake, an unbelievable prospect. The sight of the 'ships' unnerved the onlookers and the castle soon submitted.
At the end of the wars, the Brownes were able to show that their heir was too young to have taken part in the rebellion and they retained the lands. By about 1688, they had erected a mansion house near the castle, but their adherence to James II of England caused them to be exiled. The castle became a military barracks, which remained so until early in the 19th century. The Brownes did not return to live at Ross but built Kenmare House near Killarney.
There is a legend that O'Donoghue leaped or was sucked out of the window of the grand chamber at the top of the castle and disappeared into the waters of the lake along with his horse, his table and his library. It is said that O'Donoghue now lives in a great palace at the bottom of the lake where he keeps a close eye on everything that he sees

Ireland Galway Fairy Bridge River - Relax Meditate Landscape Scenery
The little meaidering river that runs under Fairy Bridge, near the village of Oughterard in Co Galway - so named after local folklore. Nearby is the remarkable Fairy Bridge Cottage with it's thatched roof, still lovingly maintained as a rural homestead. This place is incredibly peaceful in winter, perhaps with a car or two passing every hour. The senses are filled with the sound of gentle winds, birds and running water - a perfect compliment and finish to few days spent in Galway City. The village itself has great pubs, inns and guest houses and is remarkably friendly - so don't be afraid to say hello or ask for a few tips on local sights.
Here is a link to that cottage on our Facebook group - feel free to join us.
