Tarbert is a village in the north of County Kerry, with woodland to the south and the Shannon estuary to the north. It lies on the N69 coast road that runs along the estuary from Limerick before turning inland at Tarbert towards Listowel. Located in the town is the old Tarbert Bridewell Courthouse and Jail that has been restored as a visitor centre illustrating law enforcement and jail conditions in the 1830s.
