Beaufort (Lios an Phúca in Gaelic) is a small village that lies on the banks of the River Laune in County Kerry, South West of Ireland, consisting of a post office, three public houses, one supermarket, parish hall, guest houses and thirty private houses with a population of about 160. Beaufort sits at the foot of Ireland's highest mountain Carrantuohill at 1,038 metres. Olcott came back each summer until 1914. He rent the hotel owned by Patrick O'Sullivan who has the pub too which still exists today: The Beaufort Bar.
