Glenbeigh
Sitting in the heart of County Kerry, Glenbeigh is one of Ireland's most admired villages, the dramatic coastline, mountain ridges and tranquil lakes make the ultimate holiday destination to enjoy the great outdoors.
Glenbeigh or Glean Beithe as it's named in Gaelic is a pretty little village tucked into the Horseshoe of Hills not far from the Seefin Mountains. This destination is full of iconic Irish scenery, with rivers and lakes adding to the peace and beauty of this tranquil area. Pack a picnic and go off exploring along the six-mile stretch of Rossbeigh Strand’s golden Blue Flag beach, where swimming and horse-riding can be enjoyed against a backdrop of majestic mountains.
Despite its remote location, Glenbeigh is well-stocked with pubs, restaurants and shops, so a pint of local Guinness is never far away. Often referred to as 'The jewel in the ring of Kerry'. Myth and folklore are rife in these parts: it is said that this is where Diarmuid and Grainne spent days hiding in a cave, just as modern-day children would love to do. These days, your small adventurers can be let loose on the playground at Rossbeigh, overlooking the sea.
