During a visit to this small town, deeply marked by the struggle for independence, visit the Heritage Centre (Old Barracks, Bridge St.). Here, among other things, the story is told of its most famous inhabitant, Daniel O'Connell (1775-1847), who fought for the emancipation of Catholics. On the other side of the estuary, in Kimego West, do not miss two of Kerry's most beautiful round forts.

The bustling town of Cahersiveen is also considered the secret capital of the Iveragh Peninsula. On Main Street you will find small shops, supermarkets, cafes and restaurants. You will also find the Old Barracks at the harbor. Guards from the English occupiers used to be housed here, but today there is a small museum of local history in the building. On the other side of the river, the castle ruins and two Celtic stone forts are worth a visit.
