Ross Castle

Ross Castle sits on the edge of Killarney’s lower lake and was built by O’Donoghue Mór in the 15th century. The Castle came into the hands of the Brownes who became the Earls of Kenmare and owned an extensive portion of the lands that are now part of Killarney National Park . Legend has it that O’Donoghue still exists in a deep slumber under the waters of Lough Leane. On the first morning of May every seven years he rises from the lake on his magnificent white horse and circles the lake. Anyone catching a glimpse of him is said to be assured of good fortune for the rest of their lives. The large rock at the entrance to the bay is known as O’Donoghue’s prison. Ross Castle was the last stronghold in Munster to hold out against Cromwell. It was eventually taken by General Ludlow in 1652.

Save This Post For Your Next Visit To Killarney👇🏼👇🏼 A secluded swim spot at the beautiful Torc Waterfall 💦: take the steps to the left of the main view point of the waterfall (the one nearest the car park) and follow them until the bridge. Climb down to the left & you’ll find this spot with no tourists around it and a easy enough gradient in the walkway for getting in for a gorgeous dip x

David & Gianna 💕

I dragged these two up a mountain to show them famine cottages & lazy beds at first light; I’m pretty sure it’s not what they’d envisioned on their romantic holiday to Ireland😂 

I’m fully booked for couple sessions this summer, I’d recommend booking your couple/engagement session next summer, now, if you want to secure your spot xxx

This feels soooo good! This is one of my favourite techniques from the world of structural integration (of which I have many). The eccentric contraction of the muscles along the side of the spine combined with the slow, deep pressure helps to not only free up restrictions but can also give you sensory feedback to move into parts of your spine that don't move so freely. We all have parts of the spine that we have blind spots to, for many athletes it's the lumbar spine (low back) to which they struggle with going into flexion because many are stuck in extension, this helps to free up the soft tissue around the low back so that the spine is able to explore those ranges of motion more easily. This technique is not only good for athletes though everyone can benefit from a spine that is able to move more freely.

Beautiful Ross Castle in the evening after some afternoon rain✨

Ross Castle is a 15th-century tower house and keep on the edge of Lough Leane, in Killarney National Park, County Kerry, Ireland. 
It is the ancestral home of the Chiefs of the Clan O’Donoghue,later associated with the Brownes of Killarney.

Ross Castle was built in the late 15th century by local ruling clan the O’Donoghues Mór (Ross), though ownership changed hands during the Second Desmond Rebellion of the 1580s to the MacCarthy Mór.

There is a legend that O’Donoghue leapt or was sucked out of the window of the grand chamber at the top of the castle and disappeared into the waters of the lake along with his horse, his table and his library. It is said that O’Donoghue now lives in a great palace at the bottom of the lake where he keeps a close eye on everything that he sees.

📍The Gap Of Dunloe 📍

Friday facts; The Gap of Dunloe dates back two million years, when slow-moving ice carved a narrow mountain pass between MacGillycuddy’s Reeks to the west and Purple Mountain to the east. The name Dunloe comes from the Gaelic Dún Loich, meaning the fort or stronghold of Loich, the first leader of an ancient tribe called the Fir Bolg (“men of bags”), who ruled Ireland before the Tuatha de Danaan and the Milesians.

It’s such a magnificent site. Everyone should go here at least once ☘️

Pint of Guinness in kate_kearneys is also top notch, great food too!
