Co Kerry Attractions and Visitor Information

If you are a keen outdoor spirit, then Kerry’s mountains are the finest in the country. Directly across the Bay are sited the Slieve Mish mountians which join via a series of wonderful ridges all the way to Mount Brandon, Ireland’s second highest peak and a site of pilgrimage down the ages.

The Reeks allow for the ultimate hiking and climbing experience in Ireland, Carrauntoohil reaching to 1039m is the country's highest peak. These are all situated within an hours drive from the house.
