Kerry, formally County Kerry, is a lovely county nestled in the southwestern region of Ireland. It is famed for its picturesque sceneries of mountainous landscapes, rugged coastlines, and vast agricultural farms. Here, you’ll find Ireland’s highest peak, Carrantuohill, and the stunning mountain pass called The Gap of Dunloe. Besides majestic natural masterpieces, Kerry is also known for its architectural wonders that have survived the test of time. The 19th-century Muckross House, the lakeside 15th-century Ross Castle, the 19th-century Eask Tower, and the postcard-worthy Derrynane House, are just a few worth visiting.
