===Physical geography=== [[File:County Kerry West of Ballyferriter.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Near Teeravane, County Kerry]] Kerry faces the [[Atlantic Ocean]] and, typically for an Eastern-Atlantic coastal region, features many [[peninsulas]] and inlets, principally the [[Dingle Peninsula]], the [[Iveragh Peninsula]], and the [[Beara Peninsula]]. The county is bounded on the west by the [[Atlantic Ocean]] and on the north by the [[River Shannon]]. Kerry is one of the most mountainous regions of Ireland and its three highest mountains, [[Carrauntoohil]], [[Beenkeragh]] and [[Caher Mountain (Kerry)|Caher]], all part of the [[MacGillycuddy's Reeks]] range. Just off the coast are a number of islands, including the [[Blasket Islands]], [[Valentia Island]] and the [[Skellig Islands|Skelligs]]. [[Skellig Michael]] is a [[World Heritage Site]], famous for the [[medieval]] [[monastery]] clinging to the island's cliffs. The county contains the [[Extreme points of Ireland|extreme west point]] of Ireland, [[Dunmore Head]] on the Dingle Peninsula, or including islands, [[Tearaght Island]], part of the Blaskets. The most westerly inhabited area of Ireland is [[DΓΊn Chaoin]], on the Dingle Peninsula. The [[River Feale]], the [[River Laune]] and the [[Roughty River]] flow through Kerry, into the Atlantic.
