Curran's Cottage café up by Staigue Fort
Staigue Fort and the Beach, Kerry, Ireland - 2nd August 2017
We spend a few hours at Staigue Fort, a late-iron-age ring fort thought to have been built around 400AD. Then, after a stop at Cathair Dónall Garden Centre for some refreshments and a quick trip to a deserted village, Philly directs us to the most amazing beach, un-signposted and tucked away down a long lane - one that the locals clearly keep secret to themselves.

Curran's Cottage from up the hill
Isobel walks along the path
The boys climb the wall
Harry and Fred clamber all over the fort's walls
Steps run up and down all around the walls
Harry looks like he's up to something
Harry is a dot in the huge fort
A view from the top
The boys queue up for ice cream
Harry's got a blue milk shake
Fern arrives and climbs the wall with Fred
Fred and Fern chat on the wall
Faith gets a bit daring on the top of the wall
Back at the car with Philly and Davida
Cathair Dónall Garden Centre
The little outdoor seating area
Harry runs around and gives it thumbs up
Fred's on a rope
A polytunnel
Isobel and Davida chat over coffee
Isobel and the gang amongst the foliage
We walk back to the car park
A deserted village
This derelict house still has some roof left
The road down to the sea
A hearth sticks out of a wall
Inside the broken roof
Fred explores
The gang on the beach
Harry on the beach
Isobel looks out on the beach
Isobel and Harry on the sand
Haryanna on a picnic blanket
Seaweed gets pulled towards the sea
Isobel and Gabes
The gang run around
Boats on the beach
Philly regards the Caribbean-style waters
Looking out to sea
Another view of the beach
Da Wheeze does her great 'post punk' thing
Philly and Louise
Philly paces around on the sand
Harry's got seaweed on his head
