Ballycarbery : Must-See Attractions

Ballycarbery

Ballycarbery is a locality in County Kerry, Ireland. The area benefits from being close to the tourist route of the Ring of Kerry, a 180 km loop that allows you to explore the region’s wild treasures. And Ballycarbery is well worth a short stop! The spot is best known for its highly touristic ruined castle: Ballycarbery Castle, a building standing in the middle of a field, alongside cows and the seashore. Simply superb.

Visiting Ballycarbery

A wild place, very close to Caherciveen

Ballycarbery is a very sparsely populated area. The place is often deserted and much appreciated for its wild setting. Indeed, the spot combines greenery, coastline and fascinating ruins.

And to see this, you simply have to head towards its castle! It stands in a field facing the ocean. Overgrown with vegetation and half-collapsed, it offers a breathtaking sight. A place filled with a dark and fascinating atmosphere, which will immerse you in the heart of authentic Ireland!

To complete your visit, don’t miss the Cahergal Stone Fort, a perfectly preserved Irish prehistoric fort dating from the 7th or 8th century. The structure has impressive dimensions: 27 metres in diameter, walls 5 metres thick, and a height ranging from 2 to 4 metres! A place that will take you back through time, to the days of the Irish Middle Ages!
