If it is a nice day go to Derrynane Beach,
misty or rain visit Derrynane House. it was Daniel O'Connell's home and is now
a museum.

After Caherdaniel you can visit STAIGUE FORT ( 2500
years old ) its a left turn just before Castle Cove.
Further on the Town of SNEEM was home
of the famous CASEY brothers,
The New York times wrote : " The Toughest Family That Ever Lived "
. Steve Casey was the undisputed world wrestling Champion for more than
ten years, when wrestling was " WRESTLING ", Joe Louis refused
many offers from Steve Casey as he feared this Irish man who could box as
well as wrestle, there is a life size statue of Steve
( the crusher ) Casey on the
left as you leave Sneem. You have to see the Hands, from the tip of his Thunb to his little Finger was 15 inches ( 38 cm ) and he could tear a telephone book appart in seconds. If you google him you will find a facanating story worthy of a Hollywood Movie.

Here you can take a left and head straight for Molls Gap or go to Moll's Gap via Kenmare, here you will have a good view of the Mountains of Kerry, when you get to Molls Gap and you will see lakes
on your left with the Black Valley and the Head of the Gap ( the Gap of

white building in the distance and as you descend you can see the Three
Lakes of Killarney. You will pass the Upper Lake and the Middle Lake
before you get to Torc Waterfall on your right and then on to Muckross House
and Gardens, well worth a visit and stretch those legs after a great day.
