Staycation - Limerick's hard on for anything Kerry

[Julio_Geordio]

You can’t go wrong with Kerry @Juhniallio

I would recommend a drive around Valentia, there’s some great viewing spots.

What age are the kids?

This place is in Kenmare. Kenmare is a lovely liitle place for a walk around/pints/food as well

Star Outdoors Kenmare ¦ Holidays for the Family ¦ Kerry Tourist Attractions

There’s a pet farm near Killarney as well.

A day walking around Killarney, the park, the waterfall etc is a day well spent.

On the way up or down, the aquadome in Tralee has reopened, good for kids, slides etc. Fairly dated now, but does the job. Or Crag caves in Castleisland, they have a play place and a few other bits.

In Caherciveen you can see the only church in Ireland named after a lay person

This is a fine spot and well run all told. Again, booking essential iirc.

A trip up all or part of Mount Brandon is class too, even if you only get up to the parts of the German plane.

If the kids are into tropical plants Kell’s bay is great @Juhniallio

What about the rope bridge and all the dinosaur and animal carvings?

And a trip over the Conor Pass which he can tell the kids is named after Conor McGregor who walked home to Dublin this way from Las Vegas

[Julio_Geordio]

Dingle is glorious, but not much use to a man in Caherdaniel now

[backinatracksuit]

It’s akin to telling somebody in Dublin to check out Bunratty Castle

Going “for a drive” in the rain is what staycations are built on.

Fire em into the back of the car and hope for better weather across the next peninsula.

Has Parknasilla big grounds to roam around? Like wild forest stuff or what?

It has but surely if you are down that far the thing to do is to bring them on a boat to Skellig Michael.

Whats the age sanction for kids to the Skelligs? You need to book well in advance and the weather can be hit and miss but it is an incredible venture and something all Irish people should do once.

Them monks were hardy bastards.

EDIT - No under 11’s seems to be the rule of thumb, but open to a bit of wrangling I’d imagine.

The sailings can be very unpredictable. They won’t bring you on if they think you mightn’t be able to get off. So it’s impossible to plan. You’d want to be staying down around there and then chance on a good calm day.

This is heaven. Tá an ghrian ag scoilteadh na gcloch, local beers and an impromptu music session at one of the tables.

[Spidey]

TPs?

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

It’s tps. I’ll jumping in off that pier Sunday morning.

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

I got rightly mugged off one morning on that pier. I asked group of 13 or 14 year olds was it safe to jump in. They said yes. Just as I went to jump they all roared no. I nearly broke myself up going in.

[cmontofuck]

Had a rake of the Béal Bán in Foxys yesterday myself. Savage ale.

[TreatyStones]

Picked up a few bottles at the Brewery on the way home. I think @Smark was looking for this previously.

@peddlerscross

[peddlerscross]

Thats unreal. Unbelievable.

A sunset in a million. A sunset in ten million.

[StoneCold]

You should go to Krugers in Dunquin/Dún Chaoin tomorrow. A savage view across to the Blaskets and smashing pints

[PhattPike]

God’s country. World class scenery.

[Massey]

When the sun is shining in the west of Ireland this time of year its the greatest place in the world.

[Smark]

That’s the stuff I was looking for around limerick. I only ever had it in a bottle what was the draught like? I’ll be down that way in a few weeks myself.
