The Country Market (Castleisland, Ireland)

After a long day driving around the Ring of Kerry and making our way up to Castleisland for the night, we found we couldn't check into our B&B early, so we made our way into town to find some supper.

Castleisland was an adorable little town that, while we were less than impressed with, we probably needed at this point in the trip. We did manage to find food there, but it definitely was not at all geared towards tourism at all. It is a good 20 miles past Killarney, and an equal distance from Dingle, and after asking multiple people on the street, it was pretty obvious that for some good Irish food, we probably should have stopped at one of the two cities along the way.

There isn't much of a nightlife there, nor is there much decent shopping, so we found ourselves somewhat bored until we were able to check into our B&B.



The food was good at The Country Market, but nothing to write home about. I vaguely recall some sort of pressed sandwich and fries, but it was more like a lunchroom cafe type of feel, not a relaxing, laid-back pub like we were hoping for.

If we had it to do all over again, we would have still stayed in Castleisland, because the B&B was incredible, but we probably would have spent most of the evening in Killarney instead of rushing ahead to Castleisland.
