Kerry Football team taking the trip to Croke Park in Dublin and returning with the All Ireland trophy more times than any other county.The climate varies with moderate temperatures throughout the year, during the summer months the temperature could be 15-20oc. Way out west is Dingle, Europe's most westerly peninsula a place of timeless character, famed as the location for the film Ryan's Daughter. Dingle is largely a Gaeltacht, an Irish Speaking district and is a place where the language and lore of old are both kept very much alive. On the Dingle is Ireland's second largest mountain, Mount Brandon standing at 951m high.The Dingle Way walk comes through the town by way of the Connor Pass. This mountain pass offers spectacular views of Brandon Bay, Tralee Bay and Dingle Bay if the weather is clear.
