Kerry: Ireland’s Most Beautiful County Kerry is home to Dingle, Killarney, The Ring Of Kerry, Slea Head Drive. I don't think that I've seen an Irish itinerary without them on it. Kerry is the kind of place that makes you pull over every ten minutes
Now we come to my favorite drive in all of Ireland, The Ring of Beara. It's wilder and much less travelled than its famous neighbor, the Ring Of Kerry, but it just as spectacular. The roads are too narrow for the tour buses that clog the Ring of

Is the Jeanie Johnston Worth Visiting? Absolutely. It's one of the must visits in Dublin for me. The Jeanie Johnston is a replica of a ship that brought Irish famine emigrants across the Atlantic from 1848. Some museums are dry and you casually read a lot and look
