Killarney – waterfall and horse & trap

We left quite early and headed down towards Killarney.  The site was quite close to the town so we headed onto the Ring of Kerry in order to try and tick some of it off before the big tour the following day.

One of the interesting things to do was a nice walk alongside a river and a waterfall.  All very pleasent and the walk through the forest was very nice, although I wasn’t very happy with having to park our camper up on the verge as the car parks were all full.

On the return from the waterfall we happened upon a number of horse and traps for hire.  It seemed a bit of a bargain to use them to explore the local country house and gardens so we hired one.  The kids really enjoyed the ride, and at the house we had some time to look around the gardens, plus, some amazingly huge ice creams were consumed!  On the way back both William, and a slightly reluctant Rebecca climbed to the front of the trap and learnt to drive the horse.

The site wasn’t great as it was really on a main road, but it did have a bit of play area which the kids liked.  The end of another day!
