Our Latest Great Place to Stay & Eat - Ard na Sidhe
Tuesday 03 January 2012
One of the most intriguingly beautiful areas in Ireland is tucked away off the beaten track around Caragh Lake on the Ring of Kerry. Just south of Killorglin this magnificent lake is four miles long and surrounded by heather hills, forests, and exotic foliage. It is an area that is often missed by the speedy traveller heading south on the Ring of Kerry but for those in the know it is total magic and a wonderful base from which to work out around the South West or just stay put and enjoy the peace and beauty. From here you can see the MacGillicuddy Reeks and the mountains towards Glencar. On one of our many trips to Parknasilla when our boys were young, we stayed at Caragh Lake and next day drove over the mountain on literal goat tracks down to Sneem. It was absolutely magical with mountainy goats literally springing out in front of us on hairpin tracks. In Victorian and Edwardian times the wealthy aristrocrats had homes in the area and the finest of these was undoubtedly Ard na Sidhe Country House.
