The Beara Peninsula haunts my dreams ... West Cork and Kerry. For anyone who loves stone circles (everyone) this is the place to head for. A unique landscape, being a peninsula you are never far from the sea, or a stone circle. Wedge tombs and standing stones too. Never got to see the Uragh stone circle - now I keep seeing photos of it.
How did I manage to miss it, will definitely be going back.

Uragh was THE reason I was inspired to visit the Beara Peninsula. Last time, I was incredibly lucky and found a wonderful old fisherman's cottage to stay in, and got a few hours at Uragh sat in the sun with a book, uninterrupted by a single other visitor. Really quite special. Ardgroom was a close second, but it didn't have (for me) the same sense of place.


Didn't the wonderful old fisherman mind?

I loved Uragh, even though we had fairly terrible weather.
A very special place.
Did the farmer pop up out of nowhere and demand '2 Euro' from you?



I've been down to Uragh a few times - never met any farmer thankfully. The Beara peninsula is a fantastic place. I really liked this stone circle too, the views are fantastic. http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/102882/cashelkeelty_nw.html
