Castleisland —County Kerry

Gateway into the heart of Kerry - to the wild scenic glories of 'Ryan's Daughter' settings on the Dingle Peninsula or placid serenity of Killarney - the market town of Castleisland was once the headquarters of the Earls of Desmond. Close by is Crag Cave, a superb showcave and entry to the rocky inner heart of the area, while across the nearby mountains stretches the Slieve Luachra area famed for its distinctive traditional music, dance and song which are celebrated at the Cultural Centre in the dainty village of Scartaglin.
