Today we visit Ballynacourty (or Baile na Cuairte) means ‘Place of the Rivelet’. It’s a beautifully peaceful location for a grave yard, but unfortunately the grave yard itself is not in great shape but it has to be one of the most scenic graveyards I've ever seen.
Filled with grass covered vaults and surrounded by mountains, just a short drive from Dingle, making this place the most serene graveyard.
We start at Tom Creans pub, that's still in use today.
I also visited the grave of Tom Crean the unsung hero and Antarctic explorer, Tom Crean who was born in Annascaul in 1877 and was part of three expeditions to the Antarctic, including Ernest Shackleton's infamous Endurance expedition in 1914-1916. Tom Crean died in 1938 and was buried here in the Ballinacourty Cemetery.
