Explore Kerry and Discover the Kingdom right on your Doorstep

This Easter, why not embrace the adventure of exploring Kerry like a tourist? With hidden gems scattered across the county, there’s something for every member of the family to enjoy. Step back in time aboard the Lartigue Monorail, discover the historic global significance of the Valentia Transatlantic Cable Station, or visit Ireland’s largest working windmill in Blennerville.

Make memories that last a lifetime by planning your very own Easter adventure here in the Kingdom.

And if the sun continues to shine and the weather is on our side, why not pack a picnic and explore our beautiful national parks and walking trails? With playgrounds aplenty and Blue Flag beaches inviting us to dip our toes and leave sandy footprints, there’s no better way to spend a day in Kerry’s stunning outdoors.
