27 Sep Kenmare: A Hidden Gem in County Kerry
Kenmare is a charming town located in the south of County Kerry, and it’s a must-visit destination on any tour of Ireland. If you’re traveling with Ireland and Scotland Luxury Tours, we include Kenmare in our itinerary, with accommodations at the luxurious Sheen Falls Lodge.
The town offers an array of fantastic pubs, restaurants, and live local music, making it a great spot to experience authentic Irish culture. For coffee lovers, Poffs is a delightful café known for its excellent food. For dinner, Mulcahy’s provides top-notch dining options, while Crowley’s, a traditional Irish pub, offers an unforgettable local experience filled with colorful characters.
Kenmare is also a shopper’s haven, with unique local shops offering an array of items at reasonable prices. The antique shop in town boasts a fine collection of high-quality treasures for those seeking something truly special.
Additionally, Kenmare serves as a gateway to the stunning Ring of Beara, a less commercialized and quieter alternative to the more famous Ring of Kerry. Known as the “unexplored peninsula,” the Ring of Beara is less accessible to large tour coaches, which preserves its untouched beauty. Don’t miss a drive through Healy Pass, a breathtaking route full of scenic views.
