Must see places in Ireland: Bantry Bay

We reinvented the lives of more than five years ago now when we moved to Kinsale, co. Cork, Ireland. We have always had daytrips from Kinsale, the historical views of Ireland. Among our favorite places to go in Ireland is Bantry. Become one of the must see places in Ireland offering a beautiful day out during travel in Ireland.

Rutten

We like to recommend a circular route on our day trips from Kinsale-so that the traveller to see two different parts of the country when you travel. With about one and a half hours either manner, you can travel out of the Northeast on Glen road to Kinsale New Road (probably 15 or more years now), which can also be a sign posted R605. You turn right by the County Council Hall (the road signs pointing that way and the path is slightly larger, and then follow the turn left and then right again until you reach the N71. Total distance were 15 km.

Stay N 71 to Bandon, where you will turn right at the T-intersection and follow the road signs to Dunmanway. The road is scenic, well traveled, and offers stunning views and lovely woodland areas. You will pass close to Ballinacurra Tower House where Susanne na gig is in another of those articles.

In Dunmanway in R # becomes 586 and you like to stay at the the way total 51 km until you turn right and go with the N71, a much bigger way. This will put you in Bantry in a short distance. Note that you can follow the N71 back up to where it intersects with your previous path, so that a different and less scenic route back to Kinsale, which at the same time, less directly, take the same time and are easier to drive because the road is greater.

Point of interest

Norwich is the city with views over a large Bay in the South-West corner of Ireland. Because of its size and the relative safety of its waters, it has seen very navel measures over the centuries. Immigrants came from 4000BC forward. An abundance of copper allowed early people to make weapons and the name of the city (Beanntraige in Irish) was the son of the Irish King of area, rulings, at the time of Christ's glory.

During the parody of the battle of the Boyne in 1689, the English King James troops landed here to fight against the troops of William of Orange, who fled with the vessels of the Bay and home to France. A major battle fought but in fairness, the Irish lost during the war, most of them on their soil for two foreign Kings. Again, 1796, the French sailing in the Bay, this time for Irish people to rebel against England (a constant theme of their 600 + years coating).

We recommend that you pay for inclusion in local family who lived in Bantry House and maintained their heritage from the times when their family was family landed on who the poorest Irish families depended. Declined in the status now they do a magnificent job to make ends meet a federal contribution which leads them to establish a historic diorama at capital one French vessels of the Bay, the House itself and many relics of his family, including document signed by Lord Nelson, and open any room for an expensive bed and breakfast. You can hear the Egerton Shelswell-White, owner of house practicing his trumpet while you eat a delicious lunch or pastries and enjoy one of the nicest restored gardens in the area with views over the Bay.

If plants are of interest to you, and you have a little more time then continue on the N71 to Glengariff and few hours of wonder the extensive and varied gardens at garnish Iceland. It is open to visitors from March to end of October and reached by a series of private run ferries from a site along the way. Enjoy the seals basking on the cliffs on the ferry ride and then stroll gardens, take an hour or more to see all of them.

Travelling back to Kinsale on N71 you pass Rosscarberry, for Drombeg circle, Clonakilty and Sheel na gig at Ballynacarriga Tower House in another one of our day tours of Kinsale. Slainte "
