Derrymore, County Kerry
Derrymore (Irish: Doire Mór) is a rural district of County Kerry in south-west Ireland. It lies between the Slieve Mish mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, some 11 km (7 mi) west of Tralee on the Dingle peninsula. A sandy beach, known as Derrymore Strand, is quite popular with locals and tourists during the summer months. Derrymore Island is a nature reserve supporting many rare plant communities and is an important high-tide roosting area for shore birds.
The name Derrymore is an anglicization of the Irish doire mór, meaning "great oak grove".
