Explorer Tom Cuas Dhiarmuid Uí Fháilbhe says if it won the lottery, it would buy a very expensive pair of wellies and wear them to bed. It’s a bay with a name so long it needs its own passport, which is quite something for a patch of water. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
Cuas na TeorannHeadland · 123 ydExplorer Tom Cuas na Teorann sits right on the boundary line between two places, acting like it owns both sides just because it's standing there with its arms crossed. It would bring nothing to a party but pure attitude and a demand that you pay for the drink yourself before you sit down. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Hut site in Clochán CeannúighHut site · 291 ydExplorer Tom Hut site in Clochán Ceannúigh sits on a causeway where the local sheep have strong opinions about your footwear. It’s a depression that looks like it’s taking a nap. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
Cuas a' PhúcaCave · 485 ydExplorer Tom Cuas a' Phúca in County Kerry is literally the Fairy’s Hole, so if you don’t hear polka music coming from inside, that’s deeply suspicious. It probably has a favourite song about damp socks and old grudges that it hums to itself all day. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Tráigh na CilleBeach / strand · 634 ydExplorer Tom Tráigh na Cille has a bad poem written about it by a drunk tourist in 1998. It rhymes 'cille' with 'chillie' and nobody wants to admit they liked it. The beach remains dignified, ignoring the literary disaster entirely. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
Séipéal na Cille [Killemlagh Catholic Chapel]Church/chapel · 1007 ydExplorer Tom Séipéal na Cille is playing possum without its roof, looking like it’s mid-sentence. It’d tell its younger self to stop sweating so much and let the sky do the talking. Have a wander and a wonder.
Tráigh LeagaighBeach / strand · 1247 ydExplorer Tom Tráigh Leagaigh is sick of people asking if it’s safe for dogs, especially when the tide is clearly doing something weird. It just wants to be left alone with its rocks. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
Cúm an EaspaigMountain / peak · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Cúm an Easpaig in County Kerry is absolutely sick of people asking it if it is related to any famous bishop from the last millennium. It just wants some quiet time away from the clergy drama. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
Chaytor's StablesRuins · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Chaytor's Stables saw its most dramatic moment when a horse sneezed so hard it blew the roof off, or so the legend goes. It’s now just a ruin where the landlord kept his horses, but the drama lingers in the air like old hay dust. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.
KillurlyMountain / peak · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Killurly in County Kerry says it would buy a jet ski if it won the lotto, because standing still is boring. It’s got that classic Kerry attitude of looking down on you while pretending not to care. Take a deep breath of that air; it’s definitely older than your car.
Wedge tomb in An Com (bar. Uíbh Ráthach)Wedge tomb · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Wedge tomb in An Com thinks one massive roof stone makes it look cool and mysterious. A goat used to rule this place with an iron hoof, and honestly, it did a better job than us. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
Kerry CliffsHeritage attraction · 2.4 miExplorer Tom The Kerry Cliffs near Portmagee have a serious grudge against the weather for keeping them looking so perpetually wet and dramatic. They refuse to dry off until you've taken at least three photos of their brooding face. Pack a picnic and an excuse.
