Kingdom of Kerry Wears Its Autumn Crown
The rolling hills which in summer are blanketed in emerald begin to flaunt a tapestry of deep reds, burnt oranges and shimmering golds.
The once-cerulean lakes reflect the fiery hues of the trees lining their shores turning them into molten pools of amber and bronze. This dance of colours is nature’s own festival celebrated silently but with a fervour that captures the heart of every beholder.
It’s not just the landscapes that adopt these new shades. The streets of quaint towns like Killarney and Dingle become canvases of russet and auburn as fallen leaves gather in corners whispering tales of centuries gone by.
Walking through these lanes feels like stepping into a painting where every hue has been chosen with care and every stroke narrates a story.
The Ring of Kerry, a scenic drive that offers panoramic views of some of the county’s most iconic sites, becomes a particularly enchanting journey during this season.
Every twist and turn of the road reveals a new spectacle: cascading waterfalls surrounded by copper-toned foliage, ancient stone forts standing guard over lands painted in autumn’s brushstrokes and secluded beaches where the Atlantic waves wash over golden sands.
Yet it’s not merely about the colours. The crisp autumn air carries with it a gentle chill, a precursor to the approaching winter. It’s a season of harvest thanking the earth for its bounties.
The local markets brim with the season’s best – plump pumpkins, juicy apples and a plethora of berries. The fragrance of baked goods wafts from cottages as families prepare traditional treats warming the soul as much as the belly.
Indeed when autumn graces the Kingdom of Kerry it’s not just a change of seasons; it’s a poetic testament to the eternal dance of nature, a reminder of the cyclical beauty of life. And as the county wears its autumn crown it stands tall and proud, a regal realm bathed in hues of gold and fire inviting one and all to partake in its splendour.

‘Revenge travel’ could be here to stay – Irish hotel chief
DUBLIN, Aug 29 (Reuters) – The post-pandemic trend of people prioritising travel could be a more permanent change in consumers’ spending habits, the head of Ireland’s largest hotel group Dalata (DHG.I) said on Tuesday.
The company, which operates the Maldron and Clayton brands and also runs 19 hotels in the United Kingdom, reported a 24% year-on-year jump in first half adjusted core profit to 103 million euros ($111 million), and said it saw no sign of a slowdown in resurgent demand for rooms.

Irish Food You Will Love
Famous Irish Foods You Need To Try Before You Die
Irish food isn’t all just corned beef and cabbage, washed down with a pint of Guinness. Sure, a good corned beef and a pint makes for excellent St. Patrick’s Day fare, but there’s so much more to Irish cuisine.
The Emerald Isle has a history stretching back thousands of years, after all, and many of those years were filled with invasion, poverty and famine. This meant the beleaguered Irish people had to get resourceful with their ingredients, leading to a cuisine built on simple, rustic, pantry staples. Here are some famous Irish foods you need to try before you die.
