The ideal destination
April to September is possibly the best time you can choose to visit Kerry. Sightseeing locations are at their scenic best at this time and so is the weather. However, don’t be surprised if you encounter lots of enthusiastic camera-toting tourists around – the place is quite a hit for visitors. Kerry has tons of accommodation options available, such as castle hotels. However, if you’re travelling with your pets its best to choose the right one that accommodates all your furry babies’ need.
