Castletownbere Market is a lively monthly market that switches to weekly during the summer months, bringing a vibrant mix of fresh local produce, plants, baked goods, bric‑a‑brac and even live poultry to the heart of Castletownbere. The first Thursday of each month is traditional market day, drawing stallholders selling carpets, tools, books, fruit, cakes and more. Popular with both locals and visitors, the market adds colour and energy to one of Ireland’s busiest fishing towns, set amid the dramatic scenery of the Beara Peninsula and overlooking one of the world’s safest natural harbours.

With its friendly atmosphere and strong community feel, the market is a great way to experience local flavours and creativity while enjoying the charm of one of Kerry’s most picturesque towns.

Did you know that Drombeg Stone Circle , near Glandore in West Cork, is over 3,000 years old? Dating from the Bronze Age (around 1100–800 BC), this atmospheric circle of 17 standing stones is also known locally as the Druid’s Altar. Excavations revealed an ancient cremation burial at its centre. Set on a rocky terrace overlooking the Atlantic, it’s one of West Cork’s most evocative prehistoric sites.
