Community assets
Despite its small size, the community of Glencar is home to a pub/post office/hostel called The Climbers' Inn, and a primary school.
Dark Skies
Glencar is part of the Gold Tier Kerry International Dark Sky Reserve, one of the best places for star gazing in the world.
Picture perfect
The four arches of the c1810 stone Blackstones Bridge over the Caragh River make for a great photo opportunity.
