The area of the county of Kerry is 1,185,918 acres, and within this area is contained such a wealth of history, of beauty, and interest that it must be in the future, as it has been in the past, a favourite touring ground for multitudes. Two long fiords, stretching out from the Atlantic, run well - nigh to the heart of the county and divide it naturally into three distinct and separate areas, each with its peculiar and widely different characteristics and its particular charm.
