Kenmare is one of Ireland's first planned towns and is known for its gastronomic restaurants and excellent accommodation. The original Irish name for the town is Neidín, meaning 'little nest', referring to its location nestled in the surrounding mountains. The town sits on both the Ring of Kerry and the Ring of Beara and offers a wide range of activities and experiences, including hiking, golfing, boat trips on the bay, and fishing.

Kenmore is a lovely lively country town situated in a bay Macgillycuddy Reeks in the north and the Caha Mountains in the east. The Irish name for the city is "Neidin", which means "little nest" which is fitting due to its position nestled between the mountains. There are plenty of places to fuel up here before taking on the mighty Caha Pass!
