Now here's something a little out-of-the-way: an Irish Whiskey Tasting Session in the Muckross Park Hotel, Killarney, Co. Kerry, Ireland (and in other Venues across Ireland on request).
Based throughout the year in the Muckross Park Hotel, close to Killarney National Park and Muckross House, it is situated on the Ring of Kerry and close to all accommodations in Killarney. This is a place to go to in Ireland to enjoy a fun, relaxed and informative evening. If I were you I would stay at the Muckross Park Hotel and avoid the travel.

 Ilnacullen, Co. Cork - an Island Garden
Located in the sheltered harbour of Glengarriff in Bantry Bay. Ilnacullin, which means island of holly, is a small island known to horticulturists and lovers of trees and shrubs all around the world as an island garden of rare beauty.
The vivid colours of Rhododendrons and Azaleas reach their peak during May and June, whilst the hundreds of cultivars of climbing plants, herbaceous perennials and choice shrubs dominate the midsummer period from June to August.
Because of its sheltered situation and the warming oceanic influence of the Gulf Stream, the climate is favourable to the growth of ornamental plants from many parts of the world.
Even for those who aren’t particularly interested in gardens, there are many other scenic views, especially in the surrounding waters where seals frequent the rocks on the southern shore.
The cover photo on Bridget's book The Traditional Irish Wedding shows a wrought iron garden gate on Ilnaculen. I took that photo. To see it, go to the home page. It's part of the opening paragraph Failte.
