There’s
something calming about the South West of Ireland.
The utter tranquillity of remote areas, the wild
majestic scenery along the coast, and the buzz
of fantastic towns like Kenmare and Kinsale mean
there’s literally something for everyone.
This area is one of the most popular and scenic
places of Ireland. Ireland's highest mountain,
Carrauntoohil, (1041m) is located here. Many visitors
to the region will remember kissing the Blarney
Stone while visiting Blarney Castle outside Cork
City. Killarney in County Kerry provides an excellent
base for exploring what is known as the 'Ring
of Kerry'. This route around the Dingle peninsula
incorporates much of Kerry's world renowned coastlines,
mountains and lakes.
This is a region where activity holidays play
a large role in holiday plans, and County Cork
has hosted the Irish Open Golf Championships on
a number of occasions in recent years. Long distance
walking is also very popular in the region, as
are the many cycle routes. In all about 1000 kms
of developed walking routes are available and
about the same distance of developed or planned
cycling routes await the visitor.
With such a long coastline sea and shore, fishing
is widely available as is excellent game angling.
