About Sneem
An enchanting village with colorful houses, lush natural surroundings, and several sculptures adorning its public areas.
Sneem is a town situated on the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry in the southwest of Ireland. It lies on the estuary of the River Sneem. Sneem village comprises two squares, North and South. A bridge in the middle of the village, viewed from overhead, acts as a knot between the two squares. A less common explanation is that Sneem is the knot in the scenic Ring of Kerry. There is much public sculpture in Sneem. The work of Vivienne Roche, Alan Hall, Tamara Rikman, a panda sculpture donated by the Peoples Republic of China and the goddess Isis donated by the people of Egypt can be seen in various locations.
