This house is the family of Daniel O'Connell, the liberator (he created in 1823 the Catholic association whose goal was to give equal political rights to Catholics). The visit of the site will be more emotional than historic, with disappointment. We will read a few pages of Irish history before going there. The house presents some souvenirs of the liberator, portraits of the family, some canvases, etc.

Alignment of six Georgian houses built around 1830 by Pery Square Tontine, adjacent to the park, which is worth looking at as the most refined ensemble of the time in Ireland.

The region of Rosscarbery has many megalithic tombs and stone circles in the countryside; Drombeg Stone Circle is the most famous. Also known as the «Druid Altar», this circle of thirteen impressive megaliths dates from 945 B.C.A beautiful archeological site filled with mysteries!

The Conor Pass is a neck of the Dingle Peninsula, culminating at 456 meters above sea level (the highest in Ireland) and connecting Brandon Bay to Dingle. A steep steep road leads to the summit of Conor's pass (attention is forbidden to trucks and campers all year round and cars in winter). Splendid! A stunning 360 ° view on the whole bay awaits you; avoid getting too cloudy. We will not resist the temptation to stop his vehicle and let himself go to contemplation. Watch your eyes (and wind)!

From Carrick-on-Suir, take the R 697 north for about six kilometers, turn onto Scrogh Bridge and drive for about two kilometers. Park in front of the church and the crosses are in a walled cemetery on the other side of a field. Two crosses, the North Cross (3.13m) and the South Cross (3.90m), found on the monastic site of Kilclispeen, await you there. These are two of Ireland's oldest ringed crosses (^8th and ^9th centuries), made of sandstone and decorated with Celtic symbols. The northern cross features a scene of David and Goliath.

It's hard to imagine a simpler, more spiritual structure than the dry-stone oratory at Gallarus (apparently built between the ^7th and ^8th centuries, although some historians dispute this, such as Christian Lassure, who refers to a ^17th-century family burial chapel). It should be remembered that oratories were chapels, built either in stone or wood, which often formed the very heart of the monastic site. The founder's tomb was located right next to the oratory. Its shape is reminiscent of an overturned stone ship's hull. A hut with a circular opening lets in a stream of light.

Grange Stone Circle is quite simply the largest stone circle in Ireland (with a total of 113 stones and a diameter of no less than 45 metres). This prehistoric gathering place is around 4,000 years old. This cromlech, near Lough Gur lake, dates back to the Neolithic, according to specialists. Located south of Limerick, not far from Bruff, on the road to Kilmallock, Grange Stone is a great idea for an excursion, with a site that nestles in an idyllic setting not often visited by tourists. Admission is free and the surroundings are perfect for a picnic. Think before you go!
