We came in search of the " craic " and found it in Caherdaniel. Food & Music in the Blind Piper area a treat. Derrynane Bay is spectacular, and the Kerry countryside is breathtaking.

We've enjoyed exploring this area on our first visit to Ireland. Fuchsia Cottage, the garden, and views are delightful. Tea at Derrynane house house , and a tour of the property & gardens is well worth a visit.
