Kilgarvan is situated in the middle of farming country in County Kerry, Ireland, on the road between Kenmare and Clonkeen. The Beara Kilgarvan cycling route passes right through the village, offering wonderful cycling opportunities to those who like to get about on two wheels. The bustling town of Kenmare is eight miles away, and offers good restaurants, arts and crafts shops, and welcoming pubs that play traditional Irish music. The nearby 30-mile long Kenmare Bay offers water sports opportunities including kayaking and sailing, or visitors can take to the waves on the "Seafari" and spend a happy time watching the Kenmare Seal Colony. |
