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.

It`s really starting to look and feel like autumn in these parts. No more sleeveless dresses for me unless there`s a turtleneck underneath 😂 I`m excited to be seeing a new area of Ireland the next few days in Killarney with thefullshillingblog 🍂🍂🍂 #tbexireland#lovekillarney#sgiew_autumn#quietinthewild#everydaymagic#adventurebeautifully#flashesofdelight
I wish sunsets over Killarney always looked this good. 😍

Did you know that the red deer can jump higher than your average house?
💡
This is due to their powerful hind legs and the curious fact that your average house can’t jump.

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.

I had the chance to spend a weekend in Killarney #Ireland🇮🇪 with Güerri ♥️ (last pic)
Before I arrived, I wasn’t really sure what to do in #Killarney. I knew it was a beautiful area, but I was surprised at what a FUN place it was😱
📸🍀┊ Visit a Pub or Two or Three, is a MUST, pubs are part of the fabric of Irish society, places to meet, drink and listen live music🍻. Ofc, the pouring of Guinness is a ritual, and I soon rediscovered my liking for Irish whiskey, I tried the best #Irishcoffee ever, and my new fave: Cider 🍎✨
🥃Here some wonderful pubs in the area:
🧚🏾 j.m_reidys my favourite pub in Killarney!

🍀Dick Mack’s: is a truly unique experience

Enjoy! And If you like to party just like Güerri and I, remember that the Irish like it loud!🥳🥳🍻

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 !!

We just drove through the Gap of Dunloe (magical!!), the Black Valley, Moll`s Gap and we are currently at the Dog Friendly, Dinis Cafe, in Muckross.
This is a beautiful stop off for walkers/cyclists, plus there`s a water station and treats for our canine companions too!

Said I better leave the house some stage this week so spent my day wandering Killarney.
Channeling my inner basic fall girl at The Apple Farm in Tipperary, Ireland! It was my first time ever at an apple farm and it was so cool to experience the sights and smells 🍎🍏🍂. Thanks to irelandsancienteast and failteireland_intmedia for hosting me on this trip! And thanks aprilgolightly and twoscotsabroad for styling me 😂 #irelandsancienteast
