Places I visited in Ireland

  • The grey limestone bulk of Holy Trinity Abbey Church behind a tall stone memorial topped with a Celtic cross, standing in a fountain basin on a paved square.

    Adare

    Thatched cottages, a limestone abbey church, and a village street built for lingering.

  • The layered dark cliffs of Moher stepping away along the coast above the Atlantic, with a small tower standing on the far headland.
    The cliffs running away toward O’Brien’s Tower.

    Cliffs of Moher

    Layered sea cliffs above the Atlantic, a round stone tower, and blunt warnings where the path ends.

  • Hedged green fields climbing to a rounded hill on the Dingle Peninsula, with further mountains behind under heavy grey cloud and slate-roofed houses tucked below.
    Looking inland across the peninsula.

    Dingle Peninsula

    Hedged fields climbing into the hills, a coastline scattered with islands, and a village mid-repair.

  • The bronze Molly Malone statue in Dublin, a woman in period dress pushing a two-wheeled barrow stacked with wicker baskets, standing against a stone wall beside a city map board.
    Molly Malone and her barrow.

    Dublin

    Molly Malone’s barrow, Temple Bar under string lights, and the long oak vault of Trinity’s Old Library.

  • A long curve of sand at Inch Beach with lines of surf rolling in, a rock breakwater along the shore, and gorse-covered cliffs rising to houses on the headland.
    The strand at Inch Beach.

    Inch Beach

    A long tidal strand on the Dingle peninsula, with hills standing across the bay.

  • The red painted front of O’Connor’s Bar in Kenmare, gold lettering across its fascia and a wooden barrel beside the black door, with a terrace of yellow, pink and blue buildings running down the wet street towards distant hills.

    Kenmare

    A painted pub front, a rain-streaked windscreen, and a wool shop worth ducking into.

  • A narrow paved lane in Killarney strung with festoon lights, the pale green and pink front of Noelle’s Café along the right and a green painted stone wall on the left, with people at a table outside.
    The lane along Noelle’s Café.

    Killarney

    Lunch on a lane of painted shopfronts, then a carriage ride through the national park.

  • The N71 winding down from Molls Gap under heavy cloud, wet tarmac curving between glacier-scoured grey rock and open moorland, with a red car on the bend ahead.
    The road down from the gap.

    Molls Gap

    The N71 winding through a rocky pass on the Ring of Kerry, under low cloud.
