The main town of Kerry, Tralee is set at the mouth of Tralee Bay. This town is the entrance to both the Dingle and Kerry Head Peninsula. This town is famous after the International Rose of Tralee Festival and the Tralee Races. These two events are held on the same weekend in the second half of August every year, attracting tourists to Tralee from all places.
Castlegregory lies at the foot of a narrow neck of land which divides Tralee Bay from Brandon Bay. The Castlegregory Arch, a doorway in the shape of an arch from the castle of Gregory Hoare can still be seen in the village at Tailor’s Row. There was a narrow gauge railway line (1891-1939) from Tralee to Dingle with a branch line to Castlegregory. This line was very popular because of the beautiful scenery on either sides. The light railway from Tralee to Dingle proved to be dangerous by two events, the “pig special disaster” in which the train plunged off the Camp bridge in 1893, and a few years later when the train was blown away from the tracks by a gust of wind at Driscoll cottage. Harry Clarke Window in the Catholic church in Castlegregory is a stained glass window. It was designed by Ireland’s finest artist in stained glass painting. Surfing: This area is famous for surfing with the world championships been held there last year 2000. Essentials: Ample number of fine restaurants, pubs and petrol stations are here
