Questions people ask
What is there to do in Kenmare?
How is indoors or outdoors decided?

What does it cost, and when is it open?
How do you get to Kenmare?
Places are OpenStreetMap records and each links to the one it came from. Indoors, outdoors and with kids are worked out from what kind of place a thing is, not from tags on it, because the tags exist on almost none of them. Visit lengths are a default for each kind. Distances are straight lines from the centre of Kenmare.
