Welcome to Kenmare

Kenmare (An Neidín) is a small town in the south of Kerry. The Irish name for the town 'An Neidín' translates into English as 'The Little Nest'. The name Kenmare is the anglicised form of Ceann Mhara "head of the sea", which refers to the furthest point inland reached by the sea.

Kenmare lies on two of the more famous Irish tourist attractions, the Ring of Kerry and the Ring of Beara, 32 kilometres from Killarney. As a result it is a very popular tourist destination.
