Kerry
is famous for its mountains. These consist mainly of sandstone but, as in
County Cork, there are extensive outcrops of limestone in the valleys.Whilst
a few caves have long been known, recent efforts have yielded some exciting
discoveries.
The longest and best
known is Crag Cave at Castleisland, now a showcave. Other discoveries
have been made in the Castleisland area. |

There
are no books available on the caves of County Kerry but some information is
available in "The Caves of Ireland" by J. C. Coleman - a useful summary of all
Irish caves but now very much out of date (published in 1965).
A complete review is available in Irish Speleology IS15. |

This
is still an area not all that regularly visited by cavers so there are no established
centres, pubs or accomodation frequented by cavers.
However, accomodation is widely available in this tourist area. Information
from Bord Failte, Head Office, Baggot Street Bridge, Dublin 2. |
