Discovered in 1983 and thought to be over one million years old Crag Cave is a magical wonderland of stalagmites and stalactites. It is an all weathervisitor attraction Located in Castleisland Co. Kerry 2 km off the N21.
Tarbert is the ferryport for the crossing of the Shannon estuary from Co. Kerry to Co. Clare. In previous times it was also the site of a prison or Bridewell, and that structure has been restored - and re-populated. You will meet people who are in the Bridewell on charges of stealing a cabbage, of begging, and those awaiting transportation to the dreaded Van Diemen's Land.
Foynes, Ireland, became the center of the aviation world from 1939 to 1945. On July 9th 1939, Pan Am's luxury Flying Boat, the "Yankee Clipper" landed at Foynes. This was the first commercial passenger flight on a direct route from the USA to Europe. During the late 1930s and early 1940s, this quiet little town on the Shannon became the focal point for air traffic on the North Atlantic.
The old steam train that huffed and puffed for 60 years between Tralee and Dingle was taken out of service in 1953. Most of the track has since disappeared. But a stretch of the line was recently restored, as was one of the original locomotives. And so now you can enjoy the trip by steam between Tralee and Blennerville.
Kerry´s biggest town is booming. Tralee has prospered in recent years from a huge inflow of investment. Hotels have expanded; restaurants and pubs have flourished; and a huge range of leisure and entertainment complexes have evolved to meet the growing demand. So not only have you the many traditional outdoor recreations: golf, swimming, fishing, sailing, walking. You now have a rich choice of indoor and all-weather pursuits from theatre and cinema to aquafun to museums to galleries.
