Crag Cave Castleisland, Ireland

Older than mankind itself, Crag Cave was not discovered until 1983.

Today, Ireland’s most exciting show cave is an all-weather visitor attraction located just north of Castleisland, the gateway to Kerry.

It is an extensive underground system that is almost four kilometers long and is one of the finest examples of limestone cave formation on the island. Crag Cave is the longest cave in County Kerry, the seventh longest in the Republic of Ireland and the tenth longest cave in Ireland.

Crag Cave is a living system that will continue to grow and change, in balance with nature, for tens of thousands of years to come.

At Crag Cave, nature’s work is combined with an atmospheric lighting system to enhance the dramatic and unique natural beauty of the cave.
