Located at the foot of Mount Penty, Cahersiveen is one of the westernmost towns in Ireland. The town's popularity lies in the fact that it is considered one of the most important towns in the Keri Ring, its relative distance meaning it has managed to avoid a boom in the tourism industry and retain the town's centuries-old charm. In recent years a marina has been added, attracting boating enthusiasts. The town also houses the old Royal Irish Police Barracks, built in the late 19th century and now a heritage centre. The remains of Ballycarbury Castle can also be visited during your visit.
