Kenmare
Neidín
An elegant small town at the southern end of the Ring of Kerry, with orderly streets, colorful shops and good restaurants. A Bronze Age stone circle lies nearby.
Kenmare was planned and built in 1775 by the first Marquess of Lansdowne, so its streets are orderly. Colorful shopfronts, craft shops and restaurants cluster along Henry Street and Main Street. On the west side of town is a Bronze Age stone circle, one of the larger ones in southwest Ireland, and there is a small fee to enter. Kenmare Bay offers boat trips where you can see seals. The town’s dining scene is among the best in the county, making it an ideal lunch stop on the Ring of Kerry. You can also continue onto the Beara Peninsula loop from here.
