Experience Killarney… its beauty, its people, its culture, its heart. Journey to the centre of this special place where magic lives, nature loves and visitors and locals alike pause to catch their breath.
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

Winter Lake Morning
Working back in Killarney National Park is like hanging out with an old friend, except now they`ve got new stories to tell.
I`m really enjoying having another look at locations that I didn`t quite get to work in for my first book , for this next one.. KINGDOM ..( definitely coming this autumn ! )
It was apparently very easy to overlook some amazing locations and to rule out others for being difficult to get to. Now I have the time and a bit more confidence to take them on and see them in them in the first place .
Hope everyone is doing okay and staying safe and well. If you`re the new owner of a print, book or calendar this year .. do let me know and I hope it was a welcome gift !! . . . .. . . #kingdombook #kingdom #kerry #killarneynationalpark #discoverkerry #lovekillarney #ireland #irish #irishart #bookproject #landscapephotography #irishlandscape #lake #tree #winter #earlymorning #peace #calm

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.

This was just great to watch! Iggy scored high marks with John and Noel Kissane, even though she has never worked with sheep like this before! Iggy was born to two working parents and the natural herding instinct is there to see. They complimented her barking too, as that helps drive on the sheep even better! When travel restrictions are lifted, please check out and support John and Noel`s open days at the farm.
Thanks a mil for the invite guys! James and Iggy 🐕🚶♂️

Does anyone else hate getting their hair wet when they swim 😅
I’m either a swim hat gal or else my head isn’t getting under water… unless it’s wash day and I’m gonna wash my hair in the next day or two! Maybe it’s a curly gal thing I’m not sure but I know for sure I ain’t about that wet hair life 💁🏻♀️

Ok, I admit it. I slipped and got my feet soaked just prior to taking this photo of the beautiful Torc Waterfall. It was worth it. :)...

How unreal is the colour of my new kahm_sustainable_swimwear I’m absolutely in love with it 😍
The Killarney National Park is looking amazing these days with all the autumnal colours. If you’re in the area definitely get out for a stroll and soak it all up🍂
