Kerry

Destination Guide: Major Cities and Counties of Ireland

Kerry: Ireland West

No matter from which direction the County of Kerry is approached, the great central spine of mountain draws the eye of the traveler like a great symphony draws an audience to a fitting climax. The relatively high mountains and narrow peninsulas conjure weather patterns, which change the face of the mountains, the surface of the water and the texture of the landscape by the minute. The fretted coastline and deep bays created by the Atlantic play tricks with the light and produce a magical quality, which intoxicates the senses. The special culture of the largely agricultural people gives a unique feeling to the county and the warm welcome, which is spontaneously extended, will captivate the heart of any visitor.

Kerry offers a great diversity of scenery, culture and leisure activities. There are many amenities, places of interest, sporting and leisure activities, festivals and other special events to experience. Kerry is also a walkers and climbers paradise with its many long distance walking routes, national parks and great mountain ranges. There are also a number of major Heritage and Interpretative Centers, Open Farms, Museums, Castles, Houses and Gardens open to the public. Sporting enthusiasts will find plenty to do: golfing, cycling, equestrian and numerous water sports from angling to sailing, diving and windsurfing.

Killarney is one of the best known visitor spots in Ireland, with its three famous lakes, while the towns and villages on the famous Ring of Kerry are a continuous delight in an area of spectacular beauty. The Dingle Peninsula is an Irish speaking district with the language, folk, customs and crafts still very much alive in the towns and villages of the area.

Killarney town celebrated its 250th anniversary of its "birth", on St. Patrick's Day 2004.
