Gateway to the beautiful Iveragh Peninsula, Killorglin occupies a scenic position overlooking the River Laune and backed by the dramatic slopes of the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks. A popular salmon and trout angling centre, Killorglin is also famous for its Puck Fair, an annual cattle and horse fair that includes the crowning of a mountain goat or ‘puck’. It is Ireland’s largest and the world's oldest business event dating back to pre-Christian times. The three-day festival takes place in the second week of August and includes plenty of family entertainment, street parades and live music.
