About Firies
Firies is a small, welcoming rural village in east County Kerry, positioned between Killarney and Tralee and close to Castlemaine, Farranfore and Milltown. The surrounding landscape is distinctly countryside, with farms, low hills and the Slieve Mish and wider Kerry scenery nearby, while the village itself provides a practical base for local families. Day-to-day life is quieter than in the county’s larger towns, but Firies has a strong community character, a local school, parish facilities and sporting activity. Primary-school provision is available locally, with secondary schools and a wider range of services in Killarney, Tralee and Castleisland. Commuters generally rely on cars, with the N22 and N23 providing routes towards Killarney, Tralee and Kerry Airport; Farranfore railway station is the nearest rail connection. Local social life centres on village pubs, community events and nearby GAA activity, while larger supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, healthcare services and retail are readily accessible in Killarney, Tralee and Castleisland. Residents also have convenient access to outdoor recreation, including walking routes, playing fields and the wider attractions of Killarney National Park.
