Glencar

* Freedom to breathe

GLENCAR

At the foot of the Ballgahbeama Gap, this elevated small mountain community is known for activities including fishing, walking and climbing. It is part of the Kerry Way.

Walking hotspot

Popular routes such as the Way Marked Way and the Kerry Way, as well as meandering quaint country trails, make Glencar a favourite with walkers and hikers.

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.
