Pulled in at Wave Crest, called at reception and chose our own spot. (low season)
Thirty three thoughtfully landscaped pitches, nestling in a hill, overlooking Kenmare
Bay, the sea lapping at your feet and panoramic views of the Slieve Miskish Mountains.
We
planned to stay two nights, flopped out and stayed four. Even our "Tests" adopted
a lazy disposition, planted herself on a hill, chewed a stick, kept an eye on us
and admired the scenery.
Toilet block and showers are ample, clean and modern. Electric hook ups, 220 volts,
so expect your kettle to take a little longer to boil. Shop on site. Village ten
minutes walk. Pubs as usual, plenty of them, singing, folk, traditional and rebel
if your lucky.
Interested in history, then pay a visit to Derrynane House, the former
home of Daniel O`Connell (1775-
Walking.
Local public footpaths in Southern Ireland, West Coast in particular,
seem to be non existent. The reason being (so we have been told) for every nook
and cranny a road will wind its way their. Quiet as these lanes are, the high hedgerows
limit any view. Access to the Kerry Way long distance path is just over a mile away,
good ramble, very scenic. Boots recommended. Remember to double back at some point.
Fishing.
The
area caters for the fly fisherman/woman. Must admit that as a course angler I find
it frustrating. Great expanses of fresh water and I can't have a dabble. Yes I know
the answer, take up fly-
Content with our surroundings, we reluctantly left Caherdaniel
and carried on with our revised tour of West Eire.
Directions.
From the North or South,
make your way to Kenmare village, on the N71. At the junction with the N70, stop
and take a look at the "Finger post ". Twenty plus fingers pointing in all directions,
marvel at it, then ignore. Join the N70
(Ring of Kerry) and head West.
In approximately 27 miles, site on the left.
