Running
Perched on the Shannon River, Carrig Island is connected to the rest of Kerry by a narrow causeway. Although the population of Carrig Island is now tiny, it is still extensively farmed. It is possible to run all the way along the western shore of Carrig Island to Curran Point Battery, which dates back to Napoleonic times.
