The area around the Smuggler's Inn is just gorgeous. |
The Smuggler's Inn. |
Now heading along Cliff Road towards Waterville. |
Still on Cliff Road... the scenery is just so stunning that I'm taking copious amounts of photos and not travelling very far. |
Looking back towards Murreagh. |
Waterville appears in the distance. |

Cliff Road, Top Cross. |
And back onto the N70 and Ring of Kerry. |
A spot of maintenance on the Butler's Arms. |
What's this? |
Charlie Chaplin was the last person I expected to see in a statue in Waterville. |
Loch Currane is on the Ring of Kerry list of sights to see... |
Southview Terrace, Waterville. |
Still on Southview Terrace. |
I swear, this is a road called Lower Main Street, Waterville. |
No question that it's utterly beautiful. |
Loch Currane, Kerry. |

Back onto Lower Main Street, Waterville. |
The bridge over Loch Currane (the Loch is on the left, ocean on the right). |
The sign says 'Currane River'. |
Looking towards the coast. |
I think that's the ocean in the distance. |
Looking inland... that's a waterwheel! |
If only. |
My first view of the Eightercua stone alignment. |
Even from a distance it looks impressive. |
And a... FAIRY TREE! |
The site features four tall slabs from 1.8m to 3m high running east and west. From one stone a slab runs south and could be part of a tomb chamber or cist set in an oval cairn 1m high. |
Surrounding artifacts, including remains of a possible tomb and an ancient enclosure, suggest that the site had a ritual purpose at one time. |
Eightercua is thought to originate from circa. 1700 BC, and by tradition is the burial place of Scéine, wife of the leader of the Milesian invaders, Amergin mac Míled. |
Time to look for a B&B. I'm going to have to backtrack a mile to Waterville. |
I didn't get very far this outing but the views were so beautiful. |
Clifford's B&B on the N70, Waterville, Kerry. |
