Sneem (pass by)

Sneem is a small and picturesque village in County Kerry, Ireland. It is located on the Iveragh Peninsula, which is part of the Ring of Kerry, a scenic coastal route. Sneem lies on the estuary of the River Sneem, which flows into Kenmare Bay. The name Sneem comes from the Irish word An tSnaidhm, which means "the knot". There are different explanations for this name, but one of them is that the village consists of two squares, North and South, that are connected by a bridge over the river, forming a knot-like shape. Sneem has a rich history and culture, and it has attracted many visitors over the years. One of them was the former French president Charles de Gaulle, who visited Sneem in 1969 and has a monument dedicated to him in the North Square. Sneem also offers many attractions and activities for tourists, such as hiking, cycling, fishing, golfing, and kayaking. You can explore the natural beauty of the mountains, lakes, forests, and bogs that surround the village.
