The Kerry Bog Village, located on the beautiful Ring of Kerry gives you a fascinating insight into how people lived and worked in Ireland in the late 19th Century. The village is the only one of its kind in Europe and is one of Kerry’s leading tourist attractions. Ideal for families and tourists with spacious parking. Step back in time and take a wonderful look at Ireland’s rural history, heritage and lifestyle. Visitors will experience the culture, customs and living conditions of our great ancestors through the famine years, and late 19th century. The village has period thatched cottages, fully furnished with authentic antiques, complete with sound effects and figurines. Outdoors, we display a fabulous array of rural farm equipment, used by turf cutters and farmers of the time period. This stop is also used for a Morning Coffee/Restroom stop Time also for a walk in the area if one did not want to visit the Village. This stop is used as a comfort stop.
The sheep-dog demonstration is one of the most unusual-& popular-sights on the Ring.Local farmer Tom will introduce you to his sheep dogs. Tom then gives a fascinating demonstration of how a sheep dog is used to bring in the sheep. Responding to Tom’s whistled commands, the dogs guide the sheep.Miraculously,by the end of the demonstration all the sheep are calmly gathered in a pen. His amazing skills are on show here with his dogs responding to his every command. A question & answer session follows.The sheep dogs are the real stars of the show.They obviously love their work & listen to Tom,panting happily after another successful demonstration.The flock includes a number of rare breeds and Tom will answer any questions you have above them. The admission charge is E 8 p.p please be aware this is only a cash payment and paid onsite.
Daniel O'Connell Memorial Church is in the centre of Cahersiveen, Co. Kerry. It is one of the few catholic churches in the world dedicated to a layperson. The construction is interesting in that the granite comes from Northern Ireland & the marble slab / cornerstone was sourced from the catacombs in Rome.
