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.

Visitor Centre. We spent a lovely day at Molly Gallivan's, to experience Ireland in days gone by. A warm welcome, audio visual, lovely walk through Molly's traditional cottage & farm.
After words we enjoyed some of Frances excellent home baking in the tea rooms and picked up some locally made crafts in the gift shop. Not to be missed.

A great find. This little second-hand bookshop stocks a huge range of titles from crime to nature. There is some excellent modern fiction and a very good Irish section.

The staff are really helpful and welcoming. A real treat.

This is a really lovely art gallery which showcases local art at reasonable prices. It was especially interesting to talk to the artists themselves (one actually has a studio in the gallery) and ask them about their work and how this beautiful area of Ireland has inspired them.
