Tuosist is a small village in the far south of County Kerry. It shares the Beara Peninsula with the neighbouring parishes of County Cork: the Caha Mountains here form the county border. The nearest town is Kenmare, nine miles to the north-east. The parish is part of the Barony of Glanrought.
The name of the village is from the Irish Tuath Ó Siosta, meaning 'Territory of O'Siosta.[1]
Local attractions include the Uragh Stone Circle, Uragh Wood, Cloonee and Inchiquin Loughs, the Healy Pass, Glenmore Lake, Derreen Garden, and Gleninchaquin Park.
