Famine Huts | Chauffeur Tours Ireland

Famine Huts | Chauffeur Tours Ireland

The famine huts are located in Slea Head and are an incredible example of traditional Irish construction techniques from the early 19th century. They were constructed using mud and stone and usually consisted of two rooms and a loft or mezzanine. The mezzanine was accessed using a ladder. The most remarkable feature of these cottages in their prime was their thatched roofs. In 1860, the Earl of Cork renovated the cottages and replaced the thatched roofs with slate. Today the famine cottages are used for working sheepdog performances which are truly entertaining to watch. It takes incredible skill and training on the part of the farmer to gather and control all the sheep movements. This make a fantastic addition to a family vacation in Ireland.

 

 

Dunbeg Fort | Family Vacations Ireland

Dunbeg Fort | Family Vacations Ireland

A most unique destination, that we enjoy showing, year-in-year-out, is the promontory fort (1,000 BC approx), Dun Beg Fort. Although its exact build date is unknown, it is thought to have been built around the same time as blockhouse forts in Scotland in the Iron age and is resident to the remarkable Bee Hive Huts.

The Dun Beg Beehive Huts are an incredible way to spend time in Kerry on your private tour of Ireland. Also known as a clochán, and located around the southwest of Ireland, they are typically made of dry stone with corbelled roofs.  It is difficult to get a precise age of these huts but they are thought to be found after the 12th century.  A truly memorable chauffeur tour of Ireland.
