Can't imagine folks let the fence deter them from exploring the castle. We walked right up to it, climbed around, and even explored what appears to have been a dungeon. Slippery and dark steps! It was one of the coolest ruins we visited among many. Fragile,yes, and some young men took unnecessary risks climbing up on top! They got reamed out by one of the locals. ;) All in all, well worth a visit. Just wish I had known that the Cahergall Stone Fort was a mere stone's throw away. Puh.

Such an amazing feature and beautifully restored ancient stone fort. Huge in scale and so impressive to see up close. Even more amazing is how quiet it always is. This is such a hidden treasure and have never seen many people here at all.

We did not know about this and the nearby Cahergal Stone Fort and stumbled on them looking for something else - but we were delighted we did. This is a 9th or 10th century stone fort, really a protected farmstead of a wealthy farmer situated on a hill with good natural protection enhanced by stone walls within which were the living areas. You can climb the walls easily and the tops are turf so you do no damage. I had read about these but had never seen one before (and this seems o be the earlier and better of the two). To get to it take the side street in Cahersiveen that leads to the Old Barracks and continue along it to a T junction. Take the left fork and continue until you see a big circular stone fort on your right ( it is a way along). That is the Cahergal Stone Fort. Keep going for another 400-500 metres and there is a free parking area servicing both forts. You cannot see this fort from the parking area but there is a signpost directing you to it (on the left as you exit the car park). Follow the road for about 500m and you will find it. Well worth the walk.

Kells Bay House & Gardens is Ireland's premier sub-tropical botanical gardens situated overlooking Dingle Bay on the Ring of Kerry. It is home of the SkyWalk, Ireland's longest rope bridge (112 foot long). Ideal for everyone with over 3 kms of walks and lots of Dinosaurs for the children. We also have 4 star accommodation in the former Hunting Lodge, with our Cafe and our Thai restaurant, Sala Thai, open daily throughout the year (by prior appointment only in January).

Kells is a lovely secluded cove about a mile or two off the Ring of Kerry drive but well worth a visit. If you like a garden that is wild, exotic, wonderful, with unusual species of plants from all over the world, the odd dinosaur here and there, magnificent carvings, a view of Dingle, waterfalls, flowing streams and sky rope Bridge across the trees, all sorts of flora and fauna, this has something for all age-groups. Relish it if you do go there. Wonderful, thank you to Billy and the creative minds that envisaged such a place. Thanks to all who maintain it. Louise
