Great views free with Ring of Kerry land

The village of Sneem on the southern side of the Iveragh Peninsula (better known through its tourism-industry moniker as The Ring of Kerry) is known in Irish An tSnaidhm, meaning The Knot.

There are many stories behind the name of this alluring town but the title is most commonly thought to refer to the “knot” of the swirling waters where the River Sneem meets the currents of Kenmare Bay.

It’s a place of great beauty and history: It was the former home of the late President Cearbhall Ó Dálaigh and it’s a stop-off point that is well-known to the millions of tourists who have passed through this blessed part of the world over the years.
