(273/365) iPhone5 image taken as I was walking up Blennerville sea canal towards Tralee which is the capital of County Kerry. In 1828 funding was sought for a canal to link the town to the sea at Blennerville. The canal, only about 2 km long, opened in 1846 & ships up to 300 tonnes used to navigate the canal until it silted up & was closed in the 1930s when a deep-water quay was built up the coast at Fenit.

Today the towpath is popular with walkers & bird watchers. You can read about the history of the canal here www.focuskerry.com/james/canal.html Happy Telegraph Tuesday!

Not sure whether this is fly-tipping or work as usual.

Sometimes, canal towpaths travel through less leafy and attractive stretches. They do however hold the ghosts of former industry that grew up around the canals of the UK. I like these sometimes unloved places as they have an integrity about them.
