A derelict old long form tin roofed farm cottage. A derelict old long form tin roofed farm cottage.  Again, this looks like it would have been a well to do farm house with decorative detailing and its large size.  Mostly these cottages are used as out houses for farms but it is a better fate then to let their roofs collapse and the structure go to ruin. There is still hope :-) #irishcottage #farmcottage #derelictcottage #northkerry

Beautiful coastal cottage with the hot pokers danc Beautiful coastal cottage with the hot pokers dancing out front and a curragh drying by its side.  Love the old window style.  The location is ideal - a stunning view and close to the sea yet nestled nice and cosy into the headlands to ward off the worst of the coastal winds.

We stopped at the beautiful Meenogahane Pier for a We stopped at the beautiful Meenogahane Pier for a picnic - it is wonderful to still see the curraghs upturned and drying in the sun at this active small fishing pier.  The face in the rock must have been to ward off the winds at such a rocky pier - it would be great to hear the story behind it! ⠀

Beautifully maintained thatched cottage in North K Beautifully maintained thatched cottage in North Kerry. Amongst all the dereliction there is light - the owners clearly have huge pride in this cottage with its neat thatch, tidy garden & pristine paint job. This area has great quality land so the farm would likely have been reasonably wealthy which shows in the decorative embellishments around the windows and doors.
