County Cork Drive By

April 3, 2013

Morning brings our goodbyes to Mary, John, and Bridgett with some suggestions from Mary on what we might take in on a County Cork drive by, on the way (well, really out of the way) to Kilkenny.

We drive through beautiful Killarney National Park one last time, and head to Kenmare, a pretty seaside village / market town (yes, we are still in County Kerry, but not for long), where I run around and take a few photos and Donna shops for a short while.  We head to the Beara Peninsula where we drive along the western side of the peninsula, then cross over Healy Pass to the eastern side.  Healy Pass in particular was a beautiful drive, typical 1.5 lane road.   We drive along the southern County Cork coast and eventually out to a small picturesque burg, Glandore.  We’re headed to Kinsale, but we run out of time, so we get on the M8, and head to Kilkenny, and our last B&B, Newlands Lodge.
