I am in LOVE with this Library, it is small & cosy and the staff are very friendly. I have been…read morerequesting loads of books, through the library app, to be sent to the library in Castletownbere & it is such a great service. So, I moved back home, to Ireland, in July 2021 and I missed reading so much, I started to buy books, read them and then pass them on. Recently, I was in my local city, walked by the library & decided to join, I wish that I had joined the library sooner. It is such a great service and I think everyone should avail of it. People can request books in any library or through the app and the book will be delivered as soon as it is available, a text or email will be sent out to you. They have such a variety of books, it is great. I highly recommend this library

Kerry cliffs are gorgeous but be prepared for the wind ..chin straps on hats are a must. Biggest disappointment was the rock circle .. that was waste of time. We took drinks and snacks but there are a few towns to stop and eat. Getting ice in Europe is Tricky... but we took a small collapsible cooler. Their cheese is nice so might pack cheese slicer and crackers. Hope you can do skellig ring and Dingle ... personally I don't care about castles ... Europe is covered with them but the scenery and colorful buildings . Landscape looks like green quilt.. all shades and a billion sheep.

This is a great drive and way to see the beauty of Kerry County. There are tons of great places to…read morestop and see along the way.
