SEPTEMBER 1 – 2 – ENNIS TO KILLARNEY






• From Galway, we stayed a night in Ennis then onto Killarney.
• It’s been a magical part of the trip seeing the beautiful landscapes of the Cliffs of Moher (Irish - Aillte an Mhothair). The views attract millions of travellers per year and I was pleased to be one of them. At their peak, they are 702ft above sea level. Apparently Dusty Springfield’s ashes were scattered off the cliffs.
• The other piece of magical landscape has been the Ring of Kerry (Irish - An Mhór Chuaird) and this really takes a full day to enjoy properly. The scenery is breathtaking and the driving is interesting through the narrow, windy lanes. It’s best to follow the tour buses rather than try to drive against them (which we did thankfully).
• The photographs do not even come close to representing the beauty of these two sites
