Description
Lough Anascaul is nestled amongst the Carrigblather cliffs on the Dingle Peninsula near Annascaul, Kerry, Ireland. I made this photo on April 29, 2007.
The local legend says: "The name of the village, Annascaul, is derived from the ford at that point where the road to Dingle leads across the river Scál and is a corruption of the word, Átha-na-Scáil, meaning, in English, the River of the Hero, and the hero being Cuchulainn whose grave is reputed to be on the side of the mountain above Droumavalla, north of Annascaul."
