Castlegregory —County Kerry
Castlegregory (Caisleán Ghriaire) is situated at the base of the long sandy peninsula which separates Brandon and Tralee bays. Beyond the northern tip of the peninsula are the Magharee Islands. West of the town is Lough Gill. To the south is an imposing rampart of mountains, the central group of the Dingle peninsula, culminating in Beenoskee (825m/2,713 ft). The village takes its name from the 16th century chief known as Gregory Hoare.
The surrounding country has much to interest and attract the visitor. Activities available in the area include golf and watersports at Jamie Knox Watersports.
