A busy market town on the Ring of North Kerry, it got its name from a moated castle. Nearby is Crag Cave and the culturally rich area of Sliabh Luachra. A town noted for its panoramic main street, one of the widest in Ireland, through which street travellers tend to travel to en route to the county's favourite holiday resort - Killarney, Beauty's Home.

Castleisland is a bright busy, friendly town, passionate about sport, shrewd in business, but well able to relax, fond of its food and drink, enamoured not only by music, but also by conversation and gifted in word play.

Castleisland is an ideal holiday base to tour the splendid countryside of Kerry which is synonymous with beauty. Killarney, the famous beauty spot, the spectacular Dingle Peninsula and the magnificent scenic tour of the Ring of Kerry are all within easy reach.
