Kenmare, Co. Kerry
Kenmare Ice Cream makes small-batch ice cream in the town, a local scoop shop and producer that is an easy treat on a fine day around the square. It is the kind of independent food maker a town like Kenmare does well, using good ingredients and turning out flavours to eat on the spot or take away. A simple, family-friendly stop rather than a formal producer tour. Confirm the current shop location and seasonal opening on the ground.
