If you’re in Ireland during the summer and are looking for a place to spend a quiet, relaxing afternoon, take a tour of Bantry House. This extraordinary estate is closed during the winter, so if you’re planning to visit, make sure you plan your trip for the spring or summer.
Bantry House perches over Bantry Bay in County Cork, Ireland. This onetime small home grew exponentially after Richard White purchased the land in 1765; through his careful expansion, the estate eventually surpassed 80,000 acres. It remained in the White family throughout its colorful history, including a five-year stint as a hospital during the Irish Civil War, and today it has been converted into a charming bed and breakfast and tea room.
Bantry House sightseeing includes a trip through some of the estate’s gardens. Explore terraces, rows of shrubs, and hedges, many of which overlook Bantry Bay. A tour of Bantry House’s interior is much like wandering into a museum, as the house is loaded with artwork, antiques, and other decorations. Many of these items date back to Viscount Berehaven, who traveled extensively through Europe with his wife during the 1820s and 1830s. Bantry House isn’t all antiques and art, though; on Fridays, you can peruse local produce and potential souvenirs at the Bantry Market.

Ireland travel is about taking a journey into the magical. While taking a tour of Ireland you should always include time to travel West Cork and Mizen Head. You can experience more of the West Cork area and Mizen Head at my Ireland blog using the links above.
Whether you are walking or backpacking on the paths of the many parks, climbing the rocky hills, fishing from the rugged coastline, sitting on a sandy beach, taking photographs of the Irish countryside or cycling the winding roads; a tour of this scenic area of southwest County Cork, Ireland is a must.
This video is time lapse taken at sunset on the backside of Mizen Head. Our family was renting a farmhouse in Dunkelly West, and the sky had been very cloudy for days. On this evening, the clouds finally started to break and gave a few beautiful glimpses of the illusive sun.
I used my GoPro Hero 2 camera and shot to the northwest overlooking Dunmanus Bay, and the tip of Sheep's Head in the distance. The video was taken June 11, 2012 between 8:00pm and 10:15pm local time.
Planning your next vacation filled with Irish travel? Don't forget to tour West Cork and experience all the beauty and charm it has to offer.

A tour of Kilmainham Gaol, in Dublin, is a journey into Ireland’s past.
This imposing structure was built in 1796, and quickly established a reputation as one of Ireland’s most fearsome prisons due to its poor living conditions and the brutal treatment of its occupants. After its abandonment in 1924, it sat for many years before refurbishment and conversion to a museum in the 1980s. While it showcases a rather dark portion of Irish history, it’s nonetheless a major draw for those curious about the nation’s past, and Kilmainham Gaol sightseeing is always fascinating.
The gaol’s cells were not segregated; up to five men, women, and even children as young as seven could be held together in each small chamber. Wander through dim, narrow corridors lit only by a handful of lamps and try to imagine scores of other inhabitants moving beside you. The center atrium looks pristine now, but during the prison’s heyday, it would have been choked with prisoners being shuffled to their cells or off to the colonies. Each cell had one candle to provide illumination and warmth, and each candle had to last for two weeks—needless to say, much of the time these cells were cold, miserable places.
Don’t forget to explore the rest of Dublin once you finish up at Kilmainham Gaol. Directly across the street from the prison is the Irish Museum of Modern Art and its Garden of Galleries; this is a good spot to cleanse your eyes before checking out the rest of the city.

Ireland September 2009
We arrived in Dublin about 9am and took an Air Coach into Dublin near Trinity and did the short walk to the Clarence in Temple Bar, partly owned by Bono of U2. Fortunately a room was available immediately. We were tired but we immediately went out and did a tour of Trinity and saw many interesting things including the Book of Kells, walked down Grafton Street, and through Stephens Green, went to the Irish National Museum and took a quick hop on hop off bus ride through Dublin, then ate out (Irish Stew and Boxty) and then to Gogarty's for Traditional Irish folk signing til about 11 am, the latter in Temple Bar... very entertaining place and full of restaurants, bars, and music. The Gogarty place was totally packed and the crowd sang along with the folk songs all of which were new to us. The crowd would never meet Calif. fire codes.
Next day, got on bus again, and took a tour of the Guinness Storehouse (great must do in Dublin). Connie and I have drunk more Guinness on this trip than the rest of our lives combined. Then toured Kilmainham Gaol (Jail), which had all the history of the 1916 execution of the leaders of the Irish Easter Rising of 1916 and the subsequent rebellion that eventually led to a Anglo Irish Treaty in 1921, which divided the island into Northern Ireland and the rest, a bloody civil war, an Irish Free State in 1922, (see the Michael Collins movie) and finally the Republic of Ireland in 1949. (Now we saw a crowd march and demonstrate against Nama, the Irish bank bail out. There is also an ongoing debate about the EU Lisbon Treaty.) That night we ate out again at the Quay in the Temple Bar and then turned in earlier.
Rented car, drove across Ireland towards Galway and down to the Cliffs of Moher. Very windy, about 50 mph winds. Saw puffins and all. Drove through Lisdoonvarna looking for where Karl and Carol Ann stayed but never saw it. Stayed in Doolin at a BB with stone walls and fairly new, and went to pub for dinner, Guinness and more folk signing. Wind howled all night.
Next day drove to Kilrush and Killmer for the ferry across to Talbert, then down to Trallee and on to Killarney. Drove through the Killarney Lakes, took a jaunty ride, toured Muckross House in Killarney National Park. Very scenic lakes. Decided to forgo the Dingle Peninsula and the Ring of Kerry in favor of the Beara Peninsula. Stayed in Killarney at the Fairview right downtown, walked the town, and ate a great meal at the Fairview.
Today, drove to Kenmare and around the Beara Peninsula and most importantly over the Healy pass. Healy pass was very scenic, was up high with sheep all around and beautiful views of lakes on the Kerry side and a more barren landscape on the Cork side. Drove into Bantry, where Connie was determined to do genealogy (are we done yet) and toured the Bantry House (baron was titled the land for whatever brave thing he did stopping the attempted invasion of Bantry in 1796 by Wolfe Tone and 43 French ships. He mostly won by dint of bad weather for the ships, but got his title anyway. Pretty gardens etc. After just about giving up finding a decent place to stay in Bantry found the 2.5 year old Maritime Hotel, which is great! And even has wifi.
Tomorrow, Connie plans to go to Bantry museum and a graveyard looking for a great great great grandfather and whoever.
Btw, no problem whatsoever with reservations etc. anywhere we've gone. Although armed with books listing places, we've just done it all on the fly and most times were not at the counter asking about a room until about 6 pm. Seems the recession has hit tourism hard. We were told that last year our modus operandi would have been disaster.
Connie volunteered to drive and has done very well. I'm happy to be the navigator, but I have to say driving these roads is a Mad Hatter ride (Connie corrects me to say its a Mr. Toad's Wild Ride).

Bantry Driving Academy
Bantry Driving Academy (BDA) is an on farm driving school for learners of all ages. BDA opened its gates on the on 3rd February 2010, but the work towards that point had begun years earlier when Mary Keohane saw her eldest daughter driving nervously even after she'd passed her test. She was so slow, she could have caused an accident.
Watching her daughter prompted Mary to go on to train as a driving instructor, and, straight away, she set about researching the most effective ways of teaching young people to drive. Mary soon realised that, when drivers start learning young, everyone on the road is safer. Mary decided to harness new technology too, to make learning to drive fun and effective for young drivers.
The development of Bantry Driving Academy was supported by the West Cork Development Partnership through the LEADER programme.
