About
Discover the history of Kerry
A county in south-west Ireland, Kerry's reputation rests on the Ring of Kerry, a coastal route traversing villages, fortresses and landscapes along the Wild Atlantic Way. Killarney National Park, with its lakes, forests and mountain trails, stands as one of the region's main natural attractions, complemented by waterfalls and steep hiking paths. Killarney, the county's central town, serves as the ideal starting point for exploring the area. Celtic heritage comes alive through pre-Christian stone circles, historic monasteries and museums dedicated to Irish history. Craft markets, traditional music venues and street musicians enliven the streets, where Irish traditions and cultural heritage continue to thrive.
