Moll's Gap

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Stop once, take a deep breath and enjoy the amazing view. Then follows a fun descent as a reward for each altitude difference, which you have mastered before zovor.

The Holy Church, the Catholic church, is equipped with stained glass windows by Franz Mayer and an altar of Carrara marble depicting three scenes from the Passion of Christ. Holy Cross Church is a large, 19th-century neo-Gothic parish church, built in grey natural stone and recognizable by its slender tower and pointed arch windows. The building stands slightly elevated on the east side of Kenmare, forming a clear silhouette above the centre. Inside, the warm wooden roof and the softly coloured glass are particularly striking.
There was a service in progress, so I couldn't take interior photos.

Kenmare Town Centre

Highlight • Settlement

Nestled in a cirque lies this charming, colorful town at the mouth of the Roughty, Finihy, and Sheen rivers, which flow into the verdant Kenmare River. Approaching from the Beara Peninsula, the road winds through shady valleys, creating a striking contrast. Just before entering the town, you can stop at the Sheen Falls, the cascades of the Sheen River. The town center is built around two main shopping streets and a small park. The Holy Church, the Catholic church, features stained glass windows by Franz Mayer and a Carrara marble altarpiece depicting three scenes from the Passion of Christ.

Kenmare

Highlight • Settlement

Kenmare is one of Ireland's first planned towns and is known for its gastronomic restaurants and excellent accommodation. The original Irish name for the town is Neidín, meaning 'little nest', referring to its location nestled in the surrounding mountains. The town sits on both the Ring of Kerry and the Ring of Beara and offers a wide range of activities and experiences, including hiking, golfing, boat trips on the bay, and fishing.

Blackwater Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Blackwater Bridge is a compact 19th-century stone arch bridge on the N70, the main road of the Ring of Kerry. It spans the Blackwater River at a narrow point where the river winds its way through a green valley. The bridge is functional, but the combination of water, vegetation, and the gentle arch shape makes it photogenic.
