The Beara Peninsula is a spectacular peninsula. One of the fingers of land jutting out of the south west corner of Ireland in Munster. It is saved of all the hustle and bustle that can be found in Kerry, simply as it is not possible to drive around in a coach. Here lots of photos and photography of the region.

Beara Charity Cycle July 2015

Saturday 09/05/2015 Richie

Beara Charity Cycle July 2015. The Beara Charity Cycle has had a change of circuit and a change of date. The new circuit allows for people to see the old Beara Road from Eyeries around the coast to Ardgroom. The date change is due to the clash with the Kenmare cycle weekend.

Beara Charity Cycle July 2015

The new circuit is basically two loops, the first loop is the longest at 69 KM and goes from Castletownbere to Allihies and on to Urhan and Eyeries. From there the Ring of Beara is followed along the coastal road towards Kilcatherine and on to Ardgroom. Then back to Town which makes for a circuit of 69 KM.

Back in town for a cup of tea and then the loop from town to Adrigole over the Healey Pass into Lauragh and back via the Festival of Eyeries. It is great to be able to stop in Eyeries for some refreshments and support their village festival. The second circuit is 53KM. So total is 122KM these distances are approximates.

A great couple of nights entertainment were played to a full house on both nights. A lot of effort went into the production with the main players practising for four months.

Cahermore School Concert and Plays

Saturday 28/03/2015 Richie

Cahermore School Concert and Plays were great fun. A large crowd attended filling the hall for the evening of music and two plays organised by the pupils and staff of Cahermore National School. The kids were brilliant in their roles and great laughter was had by all. Lots of local people had a mention in the first play “The return of the Garnish GPO”. The following play was “Hoodwinked” performed by older pupils from the school.
