Kerry has some of the most stunning scenery in the world. The Gulf Stream warms this south west corner of Ireland eliminating extremes of temperature...perfect for that 'warmer' Christmas Break . Come & see the Lakes of Killarney & The Ring of Kerry in all their winter glory. There are lots of attractions to see & do - well as sitting in a cosy pub in front of a blazing log & turf fire relaxing from the stresses of life back 'home'. The Kerry Bog Village Museum, located in the beautiful 'Ring of Kerry' gives an insight into life in Ireland in the 1700s. The village is unique in Europe - definitely worth a visit. A much early attraction from the earliest days of christianity in Europe is Skellig monastic settlement with its stone beehive shaped dwellings dating back to 500 AD. Located 8 miles off the Kerry coast of Kerry, Skelligs's gannet colony is added attraction for bird lovers. For the Irish history enthusiasts amongst you, Derrynane House, in the Ring of Kerry, will be high on your list. Daniel O'Connell won political rights for Irish Roman Catholics with the Catholic Emancipation Act of 1829. O'Connell's life is commemorated here in his ancestral home. Ross Castle, a Medieval Irish Chieftain's stronghold from the 15th century is found in Killarney. Its fortified defensive bawn ( from the gaelic badhun – a cattle-fort) is a feature. Below are some excellent Kerry Hotels on offer: The 3 Star Killarney Court Hotel is conveniently close to Killarney town itself. A friendly welcome awaits you. Once the summer residence of the Marquis of Lansdowne, the 5 Star Sheen Falls is for those with a larger budget. The setting is quite splendid. Enjoy your Christmas break in Kerry. If you become too busy for a Christmas break then come & see us anytime of the year - you can always be assured of a very warm welcome !
