2. QCs Clay Pigeon Shooting
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 14 reviews
An introduction to the sport of clay pigeon shooting. For beginners and the seasoned shot, the experience can be tailored to your specific requirements. An extensive safety briefing precedes and interaction with the guns. There follows a theory section and then we break clays. Do you know when Sir Isac Newton was born?, do you know the third law of motion? Well you will, and you will break clays.

We visited here in September, in a last minute decision in the morning. Andrew took the four of us out to the field about 5 minutes away, and after an in depth safety briefing (which was actually interesting in itself!) we proceeded to have an hour of shooting in turns. Andrew helped guide us on every shot, offering easy to understand advice and it was more like having individual tuition throughout the afternoon. We were all complete novices, having not shot anything, but with his coaching we all hit something! Can't recommend this highly enough - Andrew was fantastic and we'll definitely be back when we're next in Caherciveen!

The soap shop is owned by the most wonderful woman, Alice. She was making bath bombs as we came in the store. Her shop is filled with beautifully smelling soaps, candles, creams and bath bombs. She also has the most fabulous photography skills which she makes postcards and frames from. She is an absolute talent and the sweetest, a must see in Cahersiveen!

5. Daniel O'Connell Memorial Church

Reviewed By 34gcb
This is a wonderful place to visit, it is a beautiful and ornate. There is daily Mass and it was lovely to hear some parts of the prayers said in Irish Gaelic. There is a very friendly and helpful lady in the visitors centre/piety stall. Daniel O'Connell was a political leader and liberator of Ireland, the church is named after him. It is rare for a church to be named after someone who is not a saint. Monsignor Hugh O’ Flaherty is buried in the grounds of this church, he was a flamboyant character and Vatican diplomat who helped secure the lives of many during World War II. The church is just 5 minutes walk from where the bus drops you off in the town centre. Cahersiveen is a very friendly town with nice cafes, shops and history. At the end of July/ beginning of August there is a town festival which is nice and lively. They call this town the gateway to the Skelligs (islands off the coast of Kerry) and the Ring of Kerry so if you like scenery this is the place to start.

We stopped at the Anchor Bar on Monday passing through Cahirciveen along the Ring of Kerry. It is a quaint traditional Irish pub. The staff were very friendly. We ordered fish and chips and I can easily say it was the best fish and chips that we have ever had! Battered haddock fresh from the sea. I would definitely recommend people to try here. As others have said don’t be deceived from the outside. A true little gem! Loved it!
