Are you doing the Ring of Kerry circuit? You’re sure to pass the village of Sneem! It’s time for a stopover and a visit to Sneem Sculpture Park, a park of artistic sculptures from all over the world! Open all year round, the park is located behind the village and offers a lovely walk in the fresh air!
The park takes the form of a pretty, free garden, where you’ll come across numerous works of art as you stroll along. A pretty footbridge over the Sneem River leads to a garden rich in flowers, scents and colors. Among the pieces on display are :
Sneem Square also features sculptures of Cearbhall Ó Dalaigh, former President of Ireland, who lived in Sneem for many years, and of Steve “Crusher” Casey (world champion wrestler from 1938 to 1945).
The park features a bird island and a dedicated picnic and barbecue area.
