Glenbeigh or Glanbehy (Irish: Gleann Beithe) is a village[2] and civil parish on the Iveragh peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland.
Owing to its natural heritage, history and its location on both the Ring of Kerry and Wild Atlantic Way, Glenbeigh is a tourist destination.
[7] This rock art belongs to the Atlantic tradition, consisting primarily of cup and ring marks and radial grooves, and dating back to the Late Neolithic/ Early Bronze Age period (2300-1500BC).
Nearby Rossbeigh is known for being the place where Oisin and Niamh took to the sea on their white horse to live in Tír na nÓg (the land of youth).
The barbarity and brutality of Mr Roe, the agent for Lord Wynne during the evictions, were said to be far in excess of the worst actions of his master.
Gladstone's Land Law (Ireland) Act 1881, which in effect said that tenants should no longer be removed at will, did little for the residents of the Wynn Estate, as during the years of 1882 and 1883 there were numerous evictions.
