Introducing Kenmare
The copper-covered limestone spire of Holy Cross Church, drawing the eye to the wooded hills above town, gives Kenmare an alpine appearance. Of course, you couldn’t be anywhere other than southwest Ireland with rivers named Finnihy, Roughty and Sheen emptying into Kenmare Bay. Nonetheless, Kenmare is a town of some distinction. Elegant streets with superb restaurants fan out from Fair Green. It does get busy in the summer, but is less hectic than Killarney, and is ideally situated for visiting both the Ring of Kerry and Beara Peninsula.
