Natural History, Archaeology, Landscape, Flora and Fauna in Kerry
For those interested in Natural History, Archaeology, Landscape, Flora and Fauna, there can be no better area to visit. Kerry has a unique mixture of natural and man made features, which produces some of the most intriguing and spectacular scenery in Ireland. Kerry has a huge concentration of Archaeological sites spanning 7000 years, with all phases and periods represented.
We have over 400 varieties of wild flowers which add such a constant and varied splash of colour along the roadsides. The south west region is also a valuable area for birdlife, both resident and visiting, be it winter or summer. On-going research in Geology is producing some of the most remarkasble finds, including the recent discovery of a 370 milion year old tetrapod footprint on Valentia Island (a tetrapopod is an early fourlegged animal).
