Kilgarvan

Ireland

Kilgarvan sits on the N71 between Killarney and Kenmare, making it a handy stop for anyone doing the Ring of Kerry circuit. From Cork, it's about 20 kilometers south of Killarney on the N71, while Dublin drivers typically come via the N7 and N23 through Limerick. The town serves as a good base for exploring Kerry's mountains and connecting to Killarney for shopping. The Kerry Bog Village Museum here is worth a visit, featuring authentic thatched cottages that show how rural Irish families lived in the 1800s.
