THE BOG VILLAGE

The Bog Village is situated half way between Killorglin and Glenbeigh on the main Ring of Kerry route.

It gives visitors the opportunity to enjoy a step back in time to the early 18th century to recapture the way life would have been at that time. Peat, or turf as it is usually called in Ireland, is harvested from bogs and is still used as domestic fuel.

The village is here to preserve the past for your enjoyment. This is a most worthwhile and historic visit to see the real Kerry life as it was, in the heart of Kerry's bogland.

The Bog Village is adjacent to the Red Fox Inn Bar and Restaurant which is open seven days a week.

The Red Fox Inn is an old traditional road house situated adjacent to Kerry Bog Village museum, home of the Kerry bog pony, on the scenic Ring of Kerry route. Renowned for its good food and traditional entertainment with music from June to September on Saturdays between 9.30pm and 11.30pm. Lunch served. Evening meals served with A La Carte menus daily from April - September between 9.00am and 9.00pm.
