County Kerry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1584 words)
County Kerry (Irish: 'Contae Chiarraí') is a county in the south west of Ireland, in the Munster province of the Republic of Ireland, informally referred to as 'The Kingdom'.
Kerry, on the south-west of Ireland, faces the Atlantic Ocean and typical of the Atlantic coast, features many peninsulas and inlets, principally the Dingle Peninsula, the Iveragh Peninsula, and the Beara Peninsula, shared with neighbouring County Cork.
Because of the mountainous area and the prevailing south-westerly winds, Kerry is among the regions with the highest rainfall in Ireland.
