Off the coast of Kerry , near Cahirciveen .... Best known as the Eastern Terminal station for the Atlantic Cable. The island is 7 miles long and 2 miles wide. keVin | |||||

It's connected to the mainland by an iron bridge these days. It was rather desolate, but very pretty - I was there last year. The main town/village, Knightstown, has the dubious honour of housing a rather tacky, brightly-lit, American-style bar called "Bostons", which is bedecked with Boston Celtics/Boston Bruins/Boston Red Sox paraphernalia, not to mention a thousand and one (well maybe I exaggerate) pictures and postcards of Boston. Somehow the bar didn't seem to fit in with the very traditional little town it was in. But thankfully it still served good Guinness. John | |||||
