Ardgroom

Ardgroom

Leaving Loch Fada, heading towards Ardgroom. Beyond the skellig hill lies Glenbeg Lake, the village is just out of picture on the left

Palace As you leave Lauragh behind and cut through the mountain pass this view of Pallas Harbour comes upon you
The hill in the centre lies to the left of the above picture and contains the remains of an ancient underground fort. There used to be tunnels going deep into the ground, but most if not all have been filled up for safety reasons. the village of Ardgroom lies just beyond it sauterain
Ardgroom Stone Circle The stone circle is close to the Beara Way on the eastern side of the village of Ardgroom. It is clearly marked as you come in from Lauragh and is well worth visiting

The Village

The view of the village as seen as you walk from the Lauragh direction on the back road

Ardgroom Caves

Ardgroom Caves

To get there drive on the road that passes the Church on the Ring of Beara, it is a couple of miles after Pallas Harbour

Glenbeg

Glenbeg Lake

It is about two miles off the Beara Way route but it is well worth a visit for its hill climbing and walking
