The Black Valley<\/h1>\n

If visiting County Kerry in the Republic of Ireland, be sure that the Black Valley is on your list of destinations. \u00a0It is a short deviation, in distance, from the Ring of Kerry. \u00a0The roads in and out\u00a0of the valley are narrow and full of curves. \u00a0It takes a wee bit of effort to get in and out of the valley, but it is time well spent. \u00a0The scenery is quite amazing.<\/p>\n

The Views<\/h2>\n

After traversing the Gap of Dunloe, the\u00a0lovely view of the Black Valley is exposed. \u00a0You can see the highest peak (Carrantoohil<\/a>) and the 4th highest peak (Cnoc na Peiste<\/a>) of the Macgillycuddy’s Reeks<\/a>\u00a0towering over the valley in the distance.<\/p>\n

Breakfast @ B&B<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our choice of Hillcrest Farmhouse B&B<\/a> was perfect for our travels in and around the Black Valley. \u00a0Just down the road were multiple pastures full of sheep. \u00a0We spent a fair bit of time photographing and rolling video of these vocal beasts. \u00a0The baby sheep were so inquisitive and the parents watchful. \u00a0The markings on each sheep were as unique as each individual’s baa.<\/p>\n

\"Map<\/a>We were was not expecting all the gates to be open and all the sheep running around wild and free. \u00a0Thankfully we were never charge or mauled; they were quite well-behaved. \u00a0It was a spectacular site to see and experience. \u00a0This was a top memory of our visit to Ireland. \u00a0We visited this area both days we were here.<\/p>\n
