There’s much to say about wonderful Cahersiveen

CAHERSIVEEN is a place where history, landscape and culture combine to create a destination of true substance. It’s a place in perfect harmony with the march of time and a place where keeping the things that matter most are given priority. Cahersiveen has certainly achieved this balance and while modernity tends to dictate in most facets of everyday life nowadays, they don’t come at the cost of character or culture in Cahersiveen.

Cahersiveen continues to be a vibrant hub in the heart of Iveragh with businesses well accustomed to weathering more than just the occasional Atlantic storm. The town has faced - and has come through - many economic challenges and it continues to keep its best side out. A deep sense of community is essential to how Cahersiveen does its business and its story is essentially about people rallying together for the greater good of community.

Its annual Summer Festival of Music and Arts is testament to this assertion where houses are painted, streets cleaned and baskets of flowers adorn every nook and cranny in preparation for the deluge of visitors that descend on the town.

Not only is Cahersiveen a major attraction for overseas and staycation visitors, its potential as an all-year-round destination for adventure tourism is also worthy of mention: hillwalking, fishing and traversing The Wild Atlantic Way are just some of the aspects that give Cahersiveen its 52-weeks of the year appeal.

Sport is nothing if not prominent in Cahersiveen and is something that sends a strong pulse through the people. A place with a proud rowing and football tradition speaks volumes for the interest and dedication of its people. Cahersiveen is a proud place where visitors enjoy stunning scenery and a warm welcome from locals - a gem of the south.
