Hiking

Nestled in a cirque lies this charming, colorful town at the mouth of the Roughty, Finihy, and Sheen rivers, which flow into the verdant Kenmare River.

Just before entering the town, you can stop at the Sheen Falls, the cascades of the Sheen River. The town center is built around two main shopping streets and a small park. The Holy Church, the Catholic church, features stained glass windows by Franz Mayer and a Carrara marble altarpiece depicting three scenes from the Passion of Christ.
