Map of Kenmare River

"Although this map was surveyed in 1899 and published in 1906, it was bought in Dublin by my father in 1942. He planned to have his honeymoon in Killarney, and surrounding districts, on a tandem bicycle. In 1942, if you wanted to go somewhere exotic for your honeymoon, you were severely restricted in your options. There was a petrol shortage for private cars. Trains were an option, as they ran on coal. So, The best option was to bring the tandem bicycle on the train from Dublin to Killarney, and to cycle the surrounding districts including the Kenmare area. "
