The Long and Winding Road to Gleninchaquin: Beara Peninsula, Co Kerry

by | Nov 10, 2013 | Hikes & Walks, Kerry, Nature & Gardens, Scenic Spots

Hidden in a scenic glacial valley less than 20 miles from Kenmare is Gleninchaquin Park. A small one-track road meanders deep into the Beara Peninsula. At one point an even smaller side road leads to Uragh Stone Circle. As you near the park the vista opens to dramatically display Inchaquin Falls cascading about 300 feet down the encircling mountains. The falls are at their best after heavy rainfall.
