Kerry Fiddles: We are five miles outside Kenmare, the jewel in the Ring of Kerry in the south west of Ireland. Kerry is one of the most beautiful areas in Ireland. It has 14 of the 21 highest mountains in Ireland, the largest collection of Neolithic rock art in Europe and an embarrassing number of stone circles. You can take a boat trip around Kenmare Bay, a jaunting car through the Gap of Dunloe, climb Mcgillicuddys Reeks and walk miles of white strand. A new water sports centre has recently opened just outside Kenmare, there are loads of pony trekking centres, world class golf courses and apparently more café’s per square kilometre than anywhere else in Ireland!
