‘It’s like going to another planet’

GEORGE and Enda Manzor are currently enjoying their 26th summer in their mobile home, in Glenbeigh, Co Kerry, but both had been coming to the area before they met.

Their three sons had such happy and carefree times there as children that they also keep coming back. “I think the boys would be very upset now if we broke the connection with the site,” said Enda.

The retired couple’s story is replicated in caravan parks everywhere with a strong family tradition. When their children were small, Enda would spend July and August with them in O’Connor’s Caravan Park and they would be joined by George, at weekends.
