Kenmare, County Kerry
"Escape to Living" is the motto in Kenmare, and it's easy to see why. A picturesque country town with a colourful array of delightful shops, bars, and restaurants and a vibrant, cosmopolitan atmosphere, Kenmare is superbly situated on a balmy inlet of the Atlantic where several renowned scenic routes intersect.
Kenmare town lies at the head of Kenmare Bay, a stunning inlet that sweeps out 50 kilometres from Kenmare to the Atlantic Ocean. "Kenmare" is an anglicisation of "Ceann Mara," or "head of the sea." The accepted Irish translation for Kenmare is "Neidín," which means "little nest," referring to the way the town nestles into the lush, subtropical landscape of Kenmare Bay against the striking backdrop of the Caha Mountains.
