Ireland Day 5 – Cork to Killarney

 After we checked out of the B&B in the morning, we got on the road headed to Killarney.   Our first stop was the Timoleague Friary ruins, which was about 15 minutes away from our first B&B.  I was expecting standard ruins, however what we got was ruins turned into a cemetery.  Every “room” except one had grave plots in it, and they were not all really old graves, some were as modern as the early 2000s.   I realize in the 1600s and earlier they buried people in the abbey, but this seemed a little odd.  After walking along the friary ruins, it was on to our next stop, the Drombeg Stone Circle. The nave of Timoleague Friary  The Drombeg Stone Circle is a nice little stone circle. The circle itself isn’t very big, and the stones are about my height some a bit smaller.  There were also some remnants of an ancient well house and home.   It was a nice little stop.  The next stop was Baltimore Beacon in Baltimore Harbor...
