Car Rental at 'Cork'

Hotel Dunloe Castle Gardens is interesting for its architecture - however, it is here that those wishing to enjoy the pastoral atmosphere to its fullest and admire the beautiful views prefer to stay. The fact is that the hotel was built on the site of Dunloe Castle, a traditional Irish castle the first mention of which dates back to 1215. Nearby is the Dunloe Ogham Stones - a kind of open-air museum telling the history of the Celtic tribes that once lived here. The stones were carved in the 5th-6th centuries AD to be used as burial markers. They were discovered in 1838 and immediately drew the attention of the public since scientists wanted to unravel the mysteries enveloping the landmark.

No less interesting is Ballymalis Castle built in the vicinity of Killarney at the beginning of the 16th century on the site of an older castle that once stood here. In places like this one can get the feeling of touching the history, which means that history buffs will certainly enjoy the atmosphere. Besides that, while in the castle, you should definitely walk along its gardens enjoying picturesque Irish open spaces. It is worth noting that a walk through St. John's Cemetery promises to be no less fascinating. Silence, comfort, peace, and tranquility - all these epithets come to mind during a walk here. And it's absolutely deserved - many tourists and locals find the cemetery the most spacious place in town, being not inferior to parks in this respect - and all thanks to its atmosphere and picturesque views.
