While in Co. Kerry

Tour guide books and brochures will introduce you to Kerry through the Killarney National Park, Moll’s Gap and Conor Pass on Dingle.


Two lesser promoted gems are


Bearra Peninsula, that I have dedicated a few recent blogs to due to its incredible beauty and abundance of stone circles and other ancient sites in very ambient surroundings.


and the other gem is the Prehistoric Museum near Ventry.


This vast archaeological collection exhibits over 500 authentic artifacts from the Stone, Bronze, and Celtic Iron Ages as well as Viking, Saxon and Roman objects.

Also features world's largest fossil Woolly Mammoth skull and tusks, a fossil dinosaur egg nest, and a complete fossil baby dinosaur skeleton.

The museum shop offers antiques, fossils, handmade jewelry, crafts and gifts.

Some of our “Veil Between Two Worlds” tours extend to visit Dingle and this museum.


Out tour will also visit there plus an evening concert by bard Robin Williamson at St. James Church, Dingle on Saturday May 19th.   For more information on package of guided tour , concert and accommodation please click here and ask

Folks ask me a lot of questions about turf cutters, why turf cutting is being banned and ask about the conservation issues. Being the Lughnasadh month some folks are revelling in the Tailtiu clearing the forests for farming legends. There is, perhaps, some confusion about reverence for farms and farmland balanced with forestry and wetland conservation. It is interesting to look into the creation, development and use of turf bogs to understand how the stories of mythology have evolved and possibly why the 1000s of megalithic structure dating from 4000 BC to about 1000 BC exist in Ireland. There are two very different types of Turf Bog in Ireland, so I will attempt to present their differences in relation to the mythology of the times of their creation Blanket Bogs These are the most common turf bog in Ireland, and through Scotland too.
