To Lord Brandon’s Cottage - Killarney Woodland walk - Ireland🇮🇪

Back to Derrycunnihy and Galways Bridge where this time we cross the road and head on a beautiful woodland walk to Lord Brandons Cottage.
A quieter route away from the main tourist areas with room for a good number of cars at Derrycunnihy Church.
Another hike in the Killarney National Park in the Southwest of Ireland.
While most of the path is ok, some sections, especially coming down from the road can be very slippery, especially at this time of the year when covered in leaves.
I’ve been asked twice when this walk was done , 11 November 2023. Also keep in mind the Autumn colours seemed to go on later this year.
Hope you enjoy this, I know I did...
If you enjoyed it you might leave a like and a subscribe please as it would be very much appreciated.
thanks
Ed
p.s. something has changed in KZbin recently where subtitles are a lot harder to update. I hope to add proper subtitles to this at some stage in the future. Sorry to those who rely on it :(

Lovely! Your videos are so relaxing and meditative to watch, the videography is stunning

[@eddieforde]

Thanks very much, glad you’re enjoying them. 😬

[@robertcarter9748]

I liked the boat on the boat on the lake, a great sense of perspective to the mountains. Makes you realise how small and insignificant we humans are.!

[@eddieforde]

I'm glad the way that shot turned out alright. was lucky to get it and just happened to be in the right spot as it passed... thanks Robert

[@piatheiltoft67]

Im overwhelmed too. Stunning video. Love the autum colours,the waterfalls and the sound of water. What a beautiful photo of the Mushroom. ❤

[@eddieforde]

thanks Pia. glad you enjoyed it. The noise off the water was fantastic, at the same time, it was nice that it calmed down soon after the waterfalls. All thoroughly enjoyable tho

[@gerrymcveigh]

Eddie, that first waterfall was easily worth half an hour (and a cool picture)👍 Some beautiful old oak trees🌳🌳and gorgeous colours. It is great to among trees when there is so little of them out on the mountainside. Loved the sense of scale with the mountain rising behind the lake. The best type of sensory overload👍

[@eddieforde]

Thanks Gerry, it’s a really nice area and the few times I’ve been there it’s always been quiet, although I would avoid peak season tbh. I do often wonder what the place must have looked like with trees up on the mountains alright, must have been some sight. 👍🏻

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Killarney showing off Ed :-) the colours were superb and ya it can be overwhelming there for sure… you got some nice shots and the pocket 3 did a superb Jon for ya too,, well done

[@eddieforde]

It sure was Darren, and yea, the osmo managed the darkness of the woodland pretty well, I’m still over exposing in the brighter areas, but think I have that figured out now. 👍🏻

[@AidaOMahony]

Wonderful video Eddie. I’ve done this walk many times as part of the Kerry Way. A cottage was built for queen Victoria right beside your ‘mushroom’ cascade in case she wanted a cup of tea 😂. No sign of it today but cottage ruins behind it were labourer cottages I think as well as an iron furnace. That mushroom shot is absolutely amazing!!

[@eddieforde]

thank Aida. I found out about that cottage afterwards, a few days after this the photographer I mentioned put up an old photo of the house and falls on his IG page instagram.com/p/Czo4iWysEHx/ (2nd pic or look for terrymacsweeneyphotography). Thanks again for the info, it's great finding all this out...

[@garyfruland]

Yes, I agree! Even the mushroom had color!

[@debbiekofoed7554]

Wow what a beautiful place 😍

[@eddieforde]

It sure is Debbie, thanks for watching. 😬

[@daveedmunds137]

Eddie thanks so much for these 2 videos, I have parked at the church and photographed the falls by the bridge but never ventured away from it . Looking forward to exploring now .

[@eddieforde]

thanks Dave, glad you liked them. I'd have driven pased it numerous time over the years but so glad I found out about it now..

[@aidy437]

Stunning Eddie. Amazing colours.

[@eddieforde]

thanks Adrian, we've been lucky this autumn alright, its been pretty great tbh.

[@aidy437]

You're knocking it out of the park with your videos Eddie. So impressed with this one, I'm seriously considering driving down from Tyrone this weekend for that walk! Might be a bit late for that colour this year now though.@@eddieforde

[@eddieforde]

Thanks Adrian. Would definitely be gone by now, this walk was done on the 11th Nov. Equal parts delighted and terrified someone would do one of these walk because of me. A plan for next year 🤔

[@aidy437]

Thanks Eddie. Definitely one for next year@@eddieforde

[@adrianoneill365]

Awesome Eddie, Never down that way before, but now it's on the list....cracking channel fella, well done

[@eddieforde]

thanks Adrian, it's an enjoyable one alright, even just getting to the waterfalls is, I think, worth it. Sound...

[@kerrysupporter]

Nice scenery

[@eddieforde]

Thanks DJ, beautiful place for sure. 😃

[@timherlihy5785]

First class again, Eddie. Tormenting me with all those rivers and lakes though.. being off season 😅

[@eddieforde]

thanks Tim, haha, hope to head back to the mountains/coast soon, so will give you a break with the lakes for a while 😂

[@kieranhayesphotography]

Great video Eddie, looks stunning and very easy to see why you were overwhelmed by it all. Thanks for taking us along for the hike.

[@eddieforde]

Hi Kieran. thanks for that. A bit of a difference from your great beach videos over the last few outings which have been right enjoyable😉

[@kieranhayesphotography]

@@eddieforde thanks a lot Eddie, we must do a swap some weekend 😂, I can watch you get soaking wet and you can watch me have a minor heart attack going up those hills.

[@eddieforde]

@@kieranhayesphotography haha,,, with the weather the way its gone, you'll have the added benefit of having the heart attack AND getting soaking wet at the same time... I cut out the heart attack bits for the most part when I do the vids.. 😉

[@kieranhayesphotography]

@@eddieforde that's very true Eddie. I hadn't thought about that😂

[@patrickdonnelly514]

Class Eddie. Mushroom shot is brilliant. Colours are amazing, had something similar in Wicklow. Difficult to get a decent shot, with so much going on.

[@eddieforde]

hiya Patrick, thanks. I don't usually setup the tripod but had it inverted and all this time, so it was a nice change. Of course I'd do some things different looking at it now,, but I'm not sure that shot will ever again present itself. We've been lucky with the colour alright this autumn...

[@surajsudra]

Another great video!

[@eddieforde]

Thanks Suraj, glad you enjoyed it 😉

[@DonDunzo]

Did this hike around this time last year. A great time of year to do it!

[@eddieforde]

Totally agree Eoin, the place looks fantastic at this time of the year alright 👍🏻

[@icantfly1001]

Fantastic

[@eddieforde]

thanks Tom, it's some place alright....

[@AlanAbdo-nr6fj]

What time of the year was this ed?

[@eddieforde]

hi Alan, I did this 11 Nov 23 - @@AlanAbdo-nr6fj

[@garyfruland]

It’s so hard to pick a favorite of your videos and photos but this one is right up there! I agree with other comments that the mushroom shot is brilliant! So simple and so special!

[@eddieforde]

thanks Gary, glad you enjoyed it. it was good fun trying to get that shot alright and it turned out alright :D
