The hiking in this part of County Kerry is incredible. We’ve seen many beautiful sights on the Beara Peninsula, especially Gleninchaquin; we’ve walked over to Sheen Falls and hiked the hills and valleys around the resort.

With the help of a local taxi driver we’ve discovered countless antiquities, from stone circles and dolmens to passage tombs. We’ve walked to and from Galway’s Bridge on the Old Killarney Road, and next year intend to walk all the way to Torc Waterfall and Muckross House. As we return home each evening, to a fine glass of wine, a roaring fire, and a cascading river just beyond the patio, we know we are truly where our hearts are.

Bonane Heritage Park is an opportunity to enjoy a 3 km walk on pathways while enjoying the monuments of the ancient past. The information signs guide you through the park while enjoying breathtaking scenery. The highlights were the magnificent ring fort and intriguing stone circle Ideal day for all the family. Must visit again.

On the N71, 10 KM from Kenmare on the Glengarriff Road.

Bonane Heritage Park is well worth a visit with lots of well preserved sites including a ring fort stone circle and standing stone to name but a few. And the cup of tea and apple crumble with Stevie and Francies in Molly Gallivans Open Farm is a must.

I also found in Bonane the chocolate factory, Advanced videos studio that will record your trip or any occasions for you. The Weaver shop, and Nicks recording studio, what a wonderful community with so much to offer.

I have also joined friends of Bonane to suport the work they're doing in the Herritage Park (15 Euro a year - you can get information on www.bonane.com).

You should add Bonane to your holiday list - thanks to all that made me so welcome on my trip. I will be back.

When in Kenmare you follow the N71 to Glengariff. Bonane is about 10km this will also join the ring of Beara more information to be found at www.bonane.com.

The stone circle in Kenmare is one of the finest examples in Ireland. One can easily visualise the Druids at their pagan cermonies.

The circle is easily accessible a few hundered meters from the town square.
