Live From Kenmare, Ireland | Rachel Gaffney's Real Ireland - Ep.14
On today's episode, Rachel takes us to The Park Hotel, Kenmare, County Kerry, Ireland.
The Park has a long and illustrious history. Envisaged and realized in the late Victorian era as a luxury hotel, the Park Hotel Kenmare still retains that sense of Victorian decadence blended with contemporary tranquillity.

Kerry Gathering TV, Kenmare Gangs of New York Gathering Festival, 30th Aug-1st Sept 2013.
KG.TV were in Kenmare to capture The Gangs of New York Gathering festival, a 3 to 4 day event in honor of all those who emigrated shortly after the famine in the mid 1840's. This gathering event was to mark their achievement of travelling for a new life and to bring together all the people whose ancestors travelled. Many of the Kenmare emigrants starving and destitute (drawn from the estate areas of Bonane, Kenmare, Tuosist, Lauragh, Kilgarvan and Templenoe) ended up living in the Five Points area of New York on Manhattan's lower east side. One of the most famous people of this lineage was Congressman Big Tim Sullivan whose parents were Lansdowne tenants -- he succeeded in naming a street in Manhattan, Kenmare Street in honour of his Mother. The weekend hosted many events including guided historical walks around the main points of interest on the Lansdowne estate. A play in the Carnegie Arts Centre depicting life in the 1850′s and the story of the emigration programme instituted by WS Trench. The showing in the Carnegie Arts Centre of Sean De Morda's 'The Land is Gold' documentary about Kenmare and the Lansdowne estate. A specifically designed heritage centre display telling the story of Kenmare and the Lansdowne Estate. A genealogy road show bus was in the town for at least part of the festival providing resources for the visitors to further trace their family history.

KILLARNEY, IRELAND | One of Ireland's MOST BEAUTIFUL DESTINATIONS!
Killarney is a vibrant little town in Ireland. It has incredibly beautiful scenic views, welcoming people and rich historal heritage.
A Fair Day - The Horsemen of County Kerry, Photo Essay by Sally Savage
Author and photographer Sally Savage focuses on the horsemen's devotion to a traditional way of life that is quieter, slower and simpler, while acknowledging the many changes taking place around them. A life that is guided by age-old customs, carved out by the labor of one's own hands and a destiny more self-made. In this region of rural Ireland, farmers, traders, breeders, trainers, tack vendors and blacksmiths come together to do what they love—talk and trade, and revel in their horses. Here, the seasons revolve around and remain marked by the Horse Fairs of County Kerry.

Visit Charles Fort on an Ireland RnR Tour
Visit Charles Fort in Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland on an Ireland RnR Tour.
From Wikipedia: Charles Fort (Irish: Dún Chathail) is a star fort located on the water's edge, at the southern end of the village of Summer Cove, on Kinsale harbour, County Cork, Ireland. James' Fort is located on the other side of the harbour.
Charles Fort is built on the site of an earlier stronghold known as Ringcurran Castle, which featured prominently during the Siege of Kinsale in 1601. The fort, which is named after Charles II, was designed by the Surveyor-general Sir William Robinson - architect of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham. The fort was built in the 1670s and 1680s to a star fortification design - a layout specifically designed to resist attack by cannon.
The inland bastions of the fort however are overlooked by higher ground, a fact of critical importance when the fort was besieged by John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough (then 1st Earl) in 1690 during the Williamite War in Ireland. Repairs were made following the siege, and the fort remained in use as a British Army barracks for two hundred years afterwards.
An early lighthouse was established here in the 17th century by Robert Reading.
The fort was relinquished by British forces following the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, but it fell out of use after being burned by the retreating anti-Treaty forces during the Irish Civil War in 1922. The complex was named a National Monument of Ireland in 1971 and has been partly restored by Dúchas, the Irish heritage service.
From IrishCentral: Charlesfort, or Dun Chathail in the Irish language, was built between 1677 and 1682 during the reign of Charles II as a fortress to defend against attacks from enemies approaching via the sea. William Robinson, who designed the Royal Hospital in Kilmainham in Dublin, is credited with the design of the fort.
Charlesfort was in military use until 1922. It is now in ruins, but the bride can still be seen wandering the fort’s walls in her white wedding dress. The White Lady as the locals call her, has also been seen wandering through the streets of Kinsale where she lived.
Charlesfort was declared an Irish National Monument in 1973 for its part in Irish history and there are now regular guided tours. The fort played a part in several conflicts including the Williamite War between 1689 and 1691. In 1689, James II sought to reclaim the English throne from William of Orange and he came to Kinsale with French soldiers. James II was later defeated by William. Charlesfort had suffered much damage through its years of service and restoration began after it was declared an Irish National Monument. Some of the original construction from the 17th century can still be seen today.
Ring of Kerry, Ireland - 04/06/2016
The Ring of Kerry (Irish: Mórchuaird Chiarraí) is a 179-km-long circular tourist route in County Kerry, south-western Ireland. Clockwise from Killarney it follows the N71 to Kenmare, then the N70 around the Iveragh Peninsula to Killorglin – passing through Sneem, Waterville, Cahersiveen, and Glenbeigh – before returning to Killarney via the N72.
Popular points include Muckross House (near Killarney), Staigue stone fort and Derrynane House, home of Daniel O'Connell. Just south of Killarney, Ross Castle, Lough Leane, and Ladies View (a panoramic viewpoint), all located within Killarney National Park, are major attractions located along the Ring. A more complete list of major attractions along the Ring of Kerry includes: Gap of Dunloe, Bog Village, Kerry Woollen Mills, Rossbeigh Beach, Cahersiveen Heritage Centre, Derrynane House, Skellig Experience, Staigue Fort, Kenmare Lace, Moll's Gap, Ladies View, Torc Waterfall, Muckross House, The Blue Pool, Ross Castle, Ogham Stones, St Mary’s Cathedral, Muckross Abbey, Franciscan Friary, Kellegy Church, O’Connell Memorial Church, Sneem Church and Cemetery, Skellig Michael, Beehive Cells and the Stone Pillars marking an important grave.
There is also an established walking path named The Kerry Way, which takes its own route, and a signposted Ring of Kerry cycling path which uses older quieter roads where possible. The Kerry Way roughly follows the scenic driving route of the Ring of Kerry.
There are numerous variations to the route taking in St. Finian's Bay and Valentia Island which the official driving ring misses (the official cycling route takes in Valentia Island). As well as some fine beaches, it also offers the Gap of Dunloe, Bog Village, Derrynane House, the Skellig Experience Valentia Island, Molls Gap, Torc Waterfall, Muckross House and Ross Castle.
The Ring is a popular day trip and numerous bus companies offer circuits during the summer months. As the narrow roads make it difficult for tour coaches to pass, all tour buses run in an anti-clockwise (or counter-clockwise) direction, traveling via Killorglin first. Some recommend that car owners travel in the opposite direction, going first to Kenmare to avoid delays caused by tour buses. Others advise traveling counter-clockwise to avoid having to pass the buses. In 2008 satellite navigation systems were blamed for directing bus drivers in a clockwise direction around the route.

Ancient Muckross Abbey in Killarney National Park, Ireland
Our adorable Jarvey (Jaunting Car/Cart driver) and his horse Susie, dropped us off at Muckross Abbey/Priory and Linda Woods escorted us around its ruins. Muckross Abbey was founded by the Franciscans in the Fifteenth Century and although plundered by Cromwell's forces in 1652, the building is still gorgeous; especially the cloisters.
The roof had just been replaced and we walked through the main level before ascending stairs up to the second level with the monks lived. Access to the Abbey is all-year round and free.
Again, considerable information about Muckross Abbey is in the video
