The road home from Monasterboice took me through Wicklow Mountains National Park. If you’ve ever watched PS: I love you, then you’ll know that’s where she got lost and met Hottie O’Irish! Tragically, there were no lost hot Irish guys wandering around looking for a forever home.
It’s a peaceful drive with quite a few places to pull over and grab some snaps. I was surprised to see a ruin at the bottom of one of the hills. It would be the perfect cottage if you’re looking for an open plan, permanently air-conditioned layout. I think on my next trip I’ll make a plan to do a hike here because it looks amazing!

This was the sign pointing to the cottage ruins. Not sure who St. Kevin is but he’s mentioned all over the placeI had a sheep next to me bleating away.
Last stop of the day was The Beehive pub for some fish, chips and a pint of Guinness. Man, the food here is divine!

I'm a South African-born American who dabbles in writing, photography and cookery. I lived in England for 6 years before moving to America. My first trip to Scotland was in 2003 and it was love at first sight. 4 trips later & I'm now on a quest to find a way back to my soul-home in Scotland.
I've picked up favourite foods in each place I've lived so I'm a product of all the places I've been. A sprinkling of this, a dash of that and in an emergency, a generous splash of Scotch!
