Kerry Bog Village Museum

Peat lands, more usually referred to as bogs, cover more than 15 per cent of Ireland and are some of the largest areas of peat in Europe. These large areas of decayed vegetation, laid down over many centuries, were once even more common in Ireland, but a thousand years of cutting peat to use as domestic fuel has left them seriously and irrevocably depleted. The Kerry Bog Village Museum is a…

☘️ I'm back from Ireland ☘️

And had an absolutely amazing time. It's an overwhelmingly beautiful country and I had so much fun with my friends. ❤️ Here are some photo highlights (for Dublin see my other post).

View of the Irish Sea and Wicklow Mountains from Dalkey Hill

We visited many castles, some more haunted than others 👻

A vegan scone and chai latte in Galway 🥰

We climbed Diamond Hill in Connemara National Park 💪

Found beautiful flowers in the rocky landscape of the Burren

Drove the Ring of Kerry, along with two other peninsula loop drives on different days, and saw loads of gorgeous sights along the way, like at this stop we made at Waterville

Even the view from the rental car was breathtaking most of the time!

Due to weather conditions we did not make it to the top of Devil's Ladder, but it was still a great, if wet, adventure!

Oh and we stayed in some incredible Airbnbs (this one used to be a gatehouse 🤩)

We also went on an AWESOME eco marine tour, but I'll make a separate post about that.

So yeah, I'll miss Ireland, but I'm also glad to be back home. 😊 Time to rest now 😴😴

Stephen Hodd

Imagine if your dreams had a soundtrack? If you could hear that abstract painting you love play for you? If the sea, the wind, the rain, the thunder, the lightning, the sunset could make music of their own? How would that be? What would they say? It’s really just a Scots/Irish guy with a guitar and a few effects pedals, but Stephen isn’t just a singer/songwriter, though he’s that too. There’s a…

Skellig Michael is an island 7.2 miles (11.6 km) west of the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. Its landscape is steep and inhospitable, but it contains the site of a 6th century Gaelic monastery and serves as a habitat for puffins, razorbills and grey seals. The island is named after the archangel Michael, with "Skellig" derived from the Gaelic word sceilig, meaning a splinter of stone.

SAINTS NOVEMBER 03 "There is only one tragedy in this life, not to have been a saint."- Leon Bloy

St. Peter Francis Neron, Roman Catholic Priest and Vietnamese Martyr. He served as the director of the main seminary until he was arrested and beheaded by authorities.

St. Winifred. According to legend, she was the daughter of a wealthy resident of Tegeingl, Flintshire, Wales, and the sister of St. Beuno. She was most impressed by Beuno, was supposedly beheaded on June 22 by one Caradog when she refused to submit to him, had her head restored by Beuno, and sometime later, became a nun of the convent of a double monastery at Gwytherin in Denbigshire. She succeeded an Abbess Tenoy, as Abbess and died there fifteen years after her miraculous restoration to life. A spring supposedly springing up where Winifred's head fell is called Holy Well or St. Winifred's Well and became a great pilgrimage center where many cures have been reported over the centuries. She is also known as Gwenfrewi.

St. Vulganius, 704 A.D. Irish or Welsh missionary and hermit. After working to evangelize the tribes of the Atrebati in France, he became a hermit at Arras.

St. Cristiolus, 7th century. Welsh confessor, the brother of St. Sulian. Cristiolus founded Christian churches, including the parish in Anglesey.

St. Elerius, 6th century. Welsh saint who was a companion of St. Winefred. He was an abbot in a monastery in the north of Wales.

St. Englatius, 966 A.D. A Scottish bishop also called Englat and Tanglen. He lived at Tarves, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

St. Malachy O' More, Bishop famous for writing prophecies of the popes. Also listed as Mael Maedoc ua Morgair or Maolrnhaodhog ua Morgair, Malachy was born in Armagh, Ireland, in 1095. He was ordained by St. Cellach or Celsus of Armagh in 1132 and studied under Bishop St. Maichius of Lismore. Malachy reformed ecclesiastical discipline and replaced the Celtic liturgy with the Roman when he served as abbot of Bangor. In 1125 he was made bishop of Connor, using Bangor as his seat. He also established a monastery at Iveragh, Kerry. He was named archbishop of Armagh in 1129. In 1138, he resigned and made a pilgrimage to Rome. He visited St. Bernard at Clairvaux, France, wanting to be a monk there, but returned to Ireland to found Mellifont Abbey, also serving as papal legate to Ireland. He returned to Clairvaux and died on November 2 in St. Bernard’s arms. St. Bernard declared him a saint, an action confirmed in 1190 by Pope Clement III. Malachy is known for many miracles, including healing the son of King David I of Scotland. Malachy’s prophecies did not appear until 1597. Tradition states that Malachy wrote them while in Rome and that they were buried in papal archives until 1597, when Dom Arnold de Wyon discovered them. Serious doubts remain as to the true authorship of the prophecies.

ST. SYLVIA, MOTHER OF ST. GREGORY THE GREAT

St. Martin de Porres, Dominican lay brother at the Dominican Friary at Lima and spent his whole life there-as a barber, farm laborer, almoner, and infirmarian among other things. https://www.vaticannews.va/en/saints/11/03/st--martin-de-porres--dominican.html

The Ring of Kerry and Killarney

Today was a long scenic drive around the Iveragh Peninsula here in Ireland, also known as the Ring of Kerry. It’s essentially a large circular drive through rugged landscapes and cute little coastal villages. Not only are the farming and livestock barriers visible throughout the landscape, but rivers cut their way through. Along the coast where the Atlantic meets the shoreline, a rocky grassland…

June 26 - Ring of Kerry Drive

Before we start today’s journey, I need to give the answer to yesterday’s question: Where is the French island Reunion? It is located east of Madagascar!!! Who knew?

The Ring of Kerry (the Iveragh Peninsula) has been the perennial breadwinner of Irish tourism for decades. Lassoed by a winding coastal road (the Ring), this mountainous, lake-splattered region comes with breathtaking scenery and the highest peak in Ireland. The entire Ring of Kerry loop is 135 miles. Here’s the map…

The best plan would have been to stay one night in Kenmare and drive clockwise but we started the day in Kinsale (about 1.5 hours away) so we left for Kenmare at 6am so we could avoid the tour buses which also travel clockwise. Here are some highlights. Glacier Lake carved by a glacier 10,000 years ago…

The Parknasilla Hotel - a posh 19th century hotel. Our 2019 Rick Steves guide suggested to stop for tea and scones. When we did, we learned that now days only paying guests (no riff-raff ) can have tea and scones!

Next the Coomakesta pass lookout point (700 ft altitude) for an incredible view…

Next Portmagee, quaint town at the tip of the peninsula…

"Dingle Way (111 miles/179 km) - 8 Days

The Dingle Peninsula

Also in the southwest of Ireland, and located just above the Iveragh Peninsula, sits the Dingle Peninsula. It's the site of another popular long-distance walk. The Dingle Way is also circuit trek, beginning in the seaside enclave of Tralee, which is the largest town in County Kerry. For those with a relatively good level of physical fitness, the Dingle Way takes about 8-9 days to complete. In that time you'll experience an incredible amount of diversity.

On the way, you'll cross over the shoulder of Mt. Brandon (a)t 952 meters/3,123 feet, it's one of the highest peaks in the country), pass around the sleek foothills of Slieve Mish, march over pastoral farmland, and walk all the way out to the beaches of Slea Head and the Maharees Ayre on the north coast of the peninsula. There are also some fascinating archeological sites on the route, including ancient stone monuments featuring ogham inscriptions. On the Dingle Way, it's never more than a few hours walk between villages so you needn't worry about exhausting your provisions. 

See a day-to-day description of the Dingle Way in this 6-day self-guided itinerary. And for more information, see our Ultimate Guide to the Dingle Way."

Ring of Kerry

The Ring of Kerry is a scenic drive around the Iveragh Peninsula in southwest Ireland’s County Kerry. Its 179km-long, circular route takes in rugged and verdant coastal landscapes and rural seaside villages.
