MONDAY’S MAGICAL MOMENT: BEARA PENINSULA

BEARA PENINSULA

Down in the southwest corner of Ireland, you’ll find craggy shores, numerous bays and inlets, mountains and three famous peninsulas…….the Dingle, the Iveragh (which includes the Ring of Kerry) and the Beara.  The Beara, or Bere, is the least known, least visited and, I think, the most beautiful.  This photo was taken near Garnish Point in County Cork.

MONDAY’S MAGICAL MOMENT: GLENANCHIQUIN WATERFALL, CO. KERRY

Glenanchiquin Park is a little hard to find.  Located on the Beara Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland,  you travel 5 miles down a narrow, winding, dirt road and it takes about 20 minutes!  The waterfalls are stunning, especially after heavy rain.  There a several walking trails taking from 40 minutes to 7 hours.    Click on photo to enlarge.

MONDAY’S MAGICAL MOMENT: BEARA PENINSULA, CO. CORK

Garnish Bay is on the Beara Peninsula in southwest Ireland.  Although the Beara Peninsula is not as well known as the nearby Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula, it is equally stunning.  Counties Cork and Kerry each claim part of it, with Garnish Point  being part of Cork.  The 15 minute drive down the rutted, one-lane, winding  track to this dead-end was absolutely worthwhile.  (Click on image to enlarge)
