Darr Honors Ireland

Blarney Castle

The famous Blarney Castle is pictured. Blarney Castle is home to the legendary Blarney Stone that, if kissed, gives the person the "gift of gab" and will allow anyone the special powers of charisma while speaking. Outside of this beautiful castle lies a series of gardens which include the Poison Gardens, a collection of multi-regional poisonous plants found throughout history.

Faerie Village

In Sneem, a sculpture in the 1980's constructed a series of Faerie dwellings. In Irish lore, after fleeing the incoming race of Humans, the Aes Sidhe, fled underground and left the remnants of their dwellings, which are mysterious mounds found throughout Ireland.

The Ring of Kerry

Along the Ring of Kerry is the Lough Leanne, meaning Lake of Learning. A portion of the Honors student posed for a photo and to admire the stunning view.
