Not illustrated. 1854 Excerpt: ...iun, where anglers generally stop. From Waterville the new line of road, leading around the coast from Cahersiveen toKenmare, gradually winds up the mountain for about four miles; and from the summit, which is very high, a magnificent view of sea and mountain is obtained. From this point we descend to Darrynane, the seat of the late Daniel O'Connell.
