Farranfore (Irish: An Fearann Fuar, meaning 'the cold land')[1] is a village in County Kerry, Ireland.
Farranfore came into existence as a turnpike; a gate at the cross-roads in the village marked the boundary of the lands of the Earls of Kenmare.
Between 1893 and 1960, Farranfore railway station, which opened on 18 July 1859,[2] was known as Farranfore Junction, as it was the point where one boarded for the spectacular train ride to Valentia Harbour, which was the westernmost railway in Europe.
The single runway at Farranfore saw intensive use when Ryanair opened a base at the airport in July 2008.
In the wake of its disagreements with Cork Airport, it announced that it was moving its Liverpool service from Cork to Farranfore from June 2006 (this service subsequently ended later that year).
