In the valley of Tralee next to the River Lee can be found County Kerry's capital town, Tralee. A regional centre for tourism in Ireland, Tralee offers a wealth of year-round activities. You can plummet down a giant waterslide, embark on a guided tour through a medieval castle, enjoy a round of golf on a fabulous course, venture on a boat trip to see a colony of 20,000 gorgeous gannet sea birds, wander through peaceful valleys, or visit a pub to enjoy a meal, a conversation with the friendly locals, and the delight of a spontaneous traditional Irish music session. Situated at the confluence of several small rivers, Tralee is located at the base of an ancient roadway that passes over the Slieve Mish Mountains. On this old path is a large boulder known as Scotia's Grave, reputedly the burial site of an Egyptian Pharaoh's daughter. Tralee is a major tourist destination and has developed a range of quality all weather visitor attractions.
