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 CáigeBay · 123 ydExplorer Tom Cuas na Cáige has one very specific least favourite visitor: the guy in the red kayak who keeps splashing salt water everywhere like he owns the place. This bay just rolls its eyes and pretends to be asleep so it doesn't have to deal with him again. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
St. Kierans FortFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 320 ydExplorer Tom St. Kierans Fort in Ráth Ciaráin is stuck in a feud over who owns the view. Two families argued until one moved away for good. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Cuas a' PhúcaCave · 363 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 · 511 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 · 889 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 · 1162 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 · 1.3 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 · 1.3 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.
