This is the blog of Mark Wordsworm, the travelling worm. I’m a 40-year-old bookmark (give or take a few years) and I proudly boast my own Hallmark serial number, 95 HBM 80-1. You’ll probably want to read all about me and my Travelling Companion (the TC).
Today’s travel notes
Me and the TC were in the area of Killarney in County Kerry, Ireland, a couple of days ago. We visited Torc Waterfall and Ladies View.
The book I’m in
Darknet, by Matthew Maher. A rollicking tale of murder and mayhem in the world of high tech.
Travel tips
Turn off the tech to enjoy the natural beauty. But the tech is useful in getting you to the right spot!

Me at Torc Waterfall:
For an immersive experience (as the high tech folks say these days), watch this video of the waterfall:
The waterfall is a very short walk from the carpark: approximately 200 metres.
Green is the colour of the walk:
High on the branches of the forest, moss glows in the gentle light:
Our next stop was Ladies View, a lookout point over the lakes of Killarney:
The name “Ladies View” comes from the popularity of the lookout among Queen Victoria’s ladies in waiting during the royal visit to Killarney in 1861.
Here’s another shot of the lakes, sans yours truly:
Thus spake the notice board:
The ground drops away quite steeply at the edge of the road. The TC peered over the lip and came eye to eye with a deer quietly browsing:
That’s all for today, folks.
