28 Days of Flowers, Gardens and Parks, Day 14

For Day 14, I have photos taken at Muckross House which is located in Kerry, Ireland. Like the previous post, these photos were taken in 1986.

The estate is part of the beautiful Killarney National Park and has a rich history. 

The house was built for Henry Arthur Herbert and his wife, the watercolorist Mary Balfour Herbert. The house was completed in 1843 and was designed by the Scottish architect, William Burn.

The official web site for the house can be found at:

28 Days of Flowers, Gardens and Parks, Day 13

For Day 13, I am posting photos of Blarney Castle taken by me in October, 1986. It was a great experience to climb the castle, kiss the Blarney Stone, and see where the legend all began.

Tomorrow I will move on to another location in Ireland.
