The Kerry Region

KILLARNEY
Killarney is just a 10 minute drive, Killarney town itself provides an incredible range of beautiful shops, leisure activities, a multiplex cinema and entertainment that will help you relax and unwind throughout the day and night and a huge selection of restaurants to tempt your taste buds.

TRALEE
Tralee which is 15 minutes drive is situated at the edge of the Dingle Peninsula, and is a regional centre for tourism in Ireland, Tralee fosters Irish culture and traditional music, song and dance in a wonderfully informal atmosphere. Just at the edge of town.

The Aqua Dome: which is one of Ireland’s largest indoor waterworlds, is a marvellous complex of pools, slides, waves and rapids. Whether it’s a quiet paddle you want or the wild excitement of being swept away in a whirlpool, the Aqua Dome is a treat for all the family. Nor do you have to get wet to enjoy the place. Aqua Golf, an 18-hole themed miniature golf course located alongside the Aqua Dome, is a great game for all ages.


Kerry County Museum: Kerry County Museum, housed in the Ashe Memorial Hall in Denny Street, provides a fascinating guide to the archaeological riches and heritage of the county. Your tour of the museum is complemented by a visit to the Geraldine Experience, which takes you back in time to Medieval Ireland. Visitors can walk through the re-created streets, houses, abbey and castle of medieval Tralee. Special sound, lighting and odour effects help to make this an almost life-like experience.

Kingdom Greyhound Stadium: If you want a night out full of colour, excitement, and excellent food, all in lavish comfort, Tralee’s ultra-modern Kingdom Greyhound Stadium is the place to head for. The splendid grandstand allows panoramic views of the action, while the restaurant, lounge bar, and hospitality suites ensure punters are kept plied with essential sustenance. A great night’s fun? You bet!
Horses: “The home of Great Horse-Racing”
Tralee comes alive to the thrill of horseracing for the Guinness Ireland Group sponsored six day festival meeting at the end of August and the Whit weekend in June. The cream of the Irish track gathers in Ballybeggan, Tralee, in hopes of finding champions like the great Dawn Run who won her first race here before going on to take the Champions Hurdle and Golf Cup at Cheltenham.

Fishing: There are few things more satisfying than time spent on the edge of water. The sea is open to everyone while rivers are managed by clubs who provide permits at reasonable rates. The Feale River curls round Listowel and returns a good run of salmon and sea trout. The mouth of the river is a great place for flatfish – flounder, dab and plaice. The Smearla, a tributary of the Feale, is also good for salmon and trout. The season runs from 1 March to 30 September, and the sea or Fenit’s angling boats will take you further out. The west point of Kerry Head is a feeding ground for mackerel that come in from August on, and there are wrasse and pollock here and on the southern side of the Head. Ballybunion is especially good for turbot from May to late September and when the main beach is busy you can cross by the right-of-way through the Golf Club and onto the strand. Tralee Bay Angling Club holds competitions here in summer. You can take a rod onto Fenit pier, and two miles west of Ballyheigue, on the Kerry Head road is another pier which offers safe fishing.
