Walking in Kerry poses a pleasant dilemma!
An incredible choice and variety of walks and
treks, and never enough time!! Let us help you.

With Way Marked Ways such as the spectacular
Beara Way, in the south western corner of the
county, it will link you with the magnificent walks
and vistas of The Kerry Way – weaving along the Ring
of Kerry or Iveragh peninsula, to the Dingle Way
which will bring you to the most westerly point of
Ireland (and Europe), to the farmlands and cliff walks
of The North Kerry Way. Each of the Way Marked
Ways can be arranged into daily sections covering
around 15-30 km and a variety of accommodation
can be found from hostels to farmhouses, rural
countryside pubs to village B&Bs and hotels along
the routes.

With a wide choice of spectacular beaches to enjoy,
these offer stunning treks whether barefoot or all

storm beaches and hidden coves that can be found all
along the Kerry coastline - exploring them can be like
finding a hidden treasure!
Wherever you choose to explore, you will find
charming accommodation in the many villages and
towns along the way. Stay local to enjoy the
hospitality and character of rural Ireland and be
prepared to stay a little longer!

Angling –
Game, Coarse, Deep Sea and Shore
Lough Currane, Waterville, is famous for its sea trout
with 90% of specimen sea trout caught here!
Caherciveen and Valentia are favourites for deep-sea
anglers and Caherciveen has hosted the Sea Angling
European Championships on two recent occasions
and attracts anglers from all over the world. Shore
angling, very popular along the Kerry coastline has
many locations considered “hotspots” including Inch,
Ventry, Brandon, Banna and north Kerry.
Angling is almost all year round with Game Angling
from late January to October. Castlemaine, Carragh
Lake and The Laune are popular locations. Deep Sea

of Skate, Shark and Albacore Tuna. Specimen fish
are regularly caught off the Kerry coast.

Ocean. Kerry’s Equestrian Centres offer treks and
holidays tailor-made to your skill levels from a
leisurely trek through Killarney National Park to a
5 day Killarney Reeks Trail or Dingle Peninsula Trek.
Traditional Jaunting Car and Jarvey rides to

heritage of Killarney town and for those who enjoy
race meetings – the Killarney, Dingle and famous
Listowel Races are full of colour and great fun.

Whether meandering the quiet mesmerising roads
of the Beara Cycling Trail or exploring mountains,
valleys and islands such as the Ballagh Beama
mountain pass, the Skellig Ring and Valentia Island,

With mountains as your backdrop and crystal clear
bays as your guide, you will enjoy narrow coastal
roads with hedgerows bursting with fuchsia. Brace
yourself for the exquisite salty air and let sea
breezes run wildly through your hair!
Itineraries include the Beara Cycling Trail, the
Skellig Ring and Valentia Island, the Dingle
Peninsula, the rural farmland boreens of North
Kerry and the magnificent Lakes Trail of Killarney’s
National Park.

Kerry’s past. Gaeltacht regions, traditional farms,
famine cottages, beehive huts, oratories and ring
forts – Irish culture and history surround you as you

With the Gulf Stream influencing the waters of Kerry,
diving and snorkelling here is a paradise for divers of
all experiences with crystal clear waters (visibility

all in the presence of qualified guides. Families,

Climbing
The “Kingdom” of Kerry
in all its majesty can be
viewed spectacularly
from Ireland`s highest
peaks, Carrauntollhill,
the McGillycuddy Reeks
and Mount Brandon.
With vistas
encompassing the
vastness and beauty of
Kerry, the summits are
a glorious rest from the
rigours of the climbs.
With mystical names
such as Cathair na
Féinne and The Devil’s
Ladder, the region is
steeped in mythology
and legend.
Rock Climbing and abseiling are renowned for
their quality, dramatic settings and easy access.
Mostly south facing, there is a range to suit all

glacial mountainsides and dramatic coastal cliffs
are all here to offer exhilarating experiences.
Link up with the expertise of local guides and
companies or alternatively, join some of the Outdoor

Surfing, Wind and Kitesurfing
With the dramatic influences of the Atlantic Ocean’s
vastness, Kerry is an “exotic” paradise for those

and surf of our shores. Whether it’s surfing,
windsurfing or kitesurfing, all elements – wind, sea
and sand, combine to offer you the “Wow” factor!
Centres are located close to the “Hot Spots” and
they offer courses to all levels and are ideal for
individuals, groups and families. The centres also
advise on suitable locations – safe and secure
environs for beginners to the Atlantic roller wave
riders and surfers in search of “Green Waves”!

The Famous Ring of Kerry
As Ireland’s most famous scenic drive,
we recommend at least a 4 day trip to discover
and experience this magnificent peninsula.
From Killarney, take the N72 to Killorglin
where there are a variety of Outdoor Activity
Centres. For cyclists, we recommend taking
the Glencar route that will bring you along the
mountainous spine of the peninsula taking in glacial
lakes and mountain passes to the heart of the
Iveragh Peninsula’s Gaeltacht at Dromid (na
Dromoda).
From Killorglin to Glenbeigh, The Bog Village is an
interesting visit and in Glenbeigh, take time for a
pony trek along the beautiful Rossbeigh Beach.
From Glenbeigh, the route will open up to wonderful
views of Dingle Bay as you approach Kells, where
the Victorian Gardens of Kells Bay are located.
In Caherciveen, the history of the area can be
discovered at the Old Barracks Heritage Centre.
At Caherciveen Marina, enjoy a rib run, which
offers a fun filled boat trip around Caherciveen
Harbour and Valentia Lighthouse.
Make Caherciveen your overnight stop or drive on to
the beautiful fishing port of Portmagee or take the
ferry to Valentia Island.
This region, called the Skellig Ring, is a
place to linger. From Portmagee, the ferries
leave for the spectacular Skellig Rocks, a
UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Skellig
Experience, located on Valentia Island, introduces
you to this ancient heritage. The drive around
Valentia Island is exhilarating. Stay left as you cross
the bridge at Portmagee and stop to walk up to Bray
Head and Geokaun Cliffs for amazing views. At the
Slate Quarry, the views over Valentia Lighthouse
and Knightstown are the icing on the cake! Take
time to visit the Tetrapod Track and an eco tour
around the harbour.
To Portmagee and continue on the Skellig Ring
Road, over Coomanaspig Pass to St. Finan’s Bay
and on into Ballinskelligs (Baile na Sceilge), a
Gaeltacht village, where the Cill Rialaig Famine
Village and Ballinskelligs Blue Flag Beach are
well worth a stop.
Waterville with wonderful views of Ballinskelligs Bay
is home to Waterville’s famous Links Course and the
angler’s paradise, Lough Currane. Onwards to
Caherdaniel, the Coomakista Pass offers sublime
views over Kenmare Bay, Derrynane Harbour,
Scariff and Deenish Islands. Caherdaniel is an ideal
base for walking, swimming, canoeing, sailing, horse
riding, angling, bird watching and of course,
Derrynane House & National Historic Gardens.
At Castlecove, visit Ireland’s largest circular
stone fort, Staigue Fort. Next, the colourful
village of Sneem, home to the Sculpture
Park, Garden of the Senses and Kerry’s GeoPark
is a delightful village to spend some time.
In the colourful Heritage town of Kenmare, enjoy a
loverly choice of charming shops, galleries, cafes,
pubs and restaurants. Kenmare is gateway to both
the Ring of Kerry and Beara Peninsula and stay
longer to enjoy the fun and adventure of local
Activity Centres, The Kilgarvan’s Motor Museum
and the heritage of the region is captured at Bonane
Heritage Park and Gleninchaquin Park.
To complete the Ring of Kerry, travel north to
Killarney via Moll’s Gap. Marvel at the
panoramic vistas at Ladies View, with
breathtaking views of the glorious Lakes of
Killarney. Visit Torc Waterfall and Muckross
House, Gardens and Traditional Farms as you
make your way to Killarney. Visit the Gap of Dunloe,
Kennedy’s Pet Farm, Coolwood Wildlife Park and
take a jaunting car ride to Ross Castle and
Muckross Abbey.

Rural Bliss of North Kerry
Welcome to Kerry! If you have arrived by ferry across
the River Shannon to Tarbert from Killimer in
County Clare or have travelled down through
Limerick, take your time and meander south taking
the coast road to Tarbert, enjoying the wonderful
rural countryside of North Kerry and the views of
the Shannon Estuary.
Stop at Listowel town and ramble around this lovely
market town that is synonymous in Ireland for its
literary masters – John B. Keane, Bryan McMahon
and George Fitzmaurice who are the foundation
stones for Listowel Writer’s Week held in May
every year. Enjoy the high quality of local artisan food
producers and if it’s late in September, stay and
enjoy the fun and lively atmosphere of the famous
Listowel Races.
Drive through the wonderful country lanes and roads
and make your way to Ballybunion via the village of
Ballylongford. This is the birthplace of one of
Ireland’s finest poets, Brendan Kennelly and also
boasts the interesting Carrigafoyle Castle on the
Shannon Estuary. Take the coast road to
Ballybunion, enjoying the views of the Clare
coastline and the Loop Head Peninsula.
At the seaside resort of Ballybunion, have a round
of golf at the legendary Ballybunion Links Course,
stroll along the magnificent Ballybunion Beaches,
relax in the traditional Seaweed Baths or get
straight in to the surf of the Atlantic Ocean. With so
much on its doorstep, Ballybunion might just be the
place for an overnight stay.
Alternatively, make your way down the coast and let
the incredible fresh sea air overwhelm you at
Ballyheigue Beach. This lovely drive will bring you
through the villages of Ballyduff (which has a prime
example of a perfectly preserved Round Tower at
Rattoo) and Causeway. Just before Ballyheigue, we
recommend a circular drive around the Kerry Head
Peninsula with its scenic panoramas overlooking
the Dingle Peninsula and Clare Coast. In
Ballyheigue village, there is a charming 9 hole golf
course, children’s playground and glorious sand
dunes or if you are in the mood for a super beach
walk, Banna Beach joins Ballyheigue Beach and
will leave you feeling exhilarated and refreshed.
The R551 will take you along to Banna Beach and on
to the village of Ardfert with its famous Cathedral
and Monastic Ruins. From there, it is just a short
drive in to Kerry’s “Capital”, Tralee that is famous
for its International August Festival, The Rose of
Tralee. There are some notable visitor attractions
and activities in Tralee and its surrounding areas –
the Kerry County Museum, the Aquadome,
Siamsa Tíre, the national folk theatre of Ireland,
Blennerville Windmill a working windmill and
Exhibition Centre and Steam Train. This was also a
major point of embarkation for the famine ships to
the U.S. Locally, there are Equestrian Centres, the
striking underground limestone Crag Caves at
Castleisland and just 13km west of Tralee, is the
fishing and sailing port of Fenit with its extensive
marina and annual regattas. Take time to visit St.
Brendan, the Navigator`s Statue, with its beautiful
scenic views of the region.

The Magic of the Dingle Peninsula
TripAdvisor travellers have voted the Dingle
Peninsula a Top World Destination. Therefore we
recommend at least 3 days to explore and
experience this wonderful place.
The “Gateways” of the Dingle Peninsula are, to the
north, Blennerville, the N86 route from Tralee or
to the south, Castlemaine (where archery and
angling can be enjoyed), the N72/R561 from
Killarney. From Tralee, drive west along the
northern shores of the peninsula to the village of
Camp and travel straight on towards the Conor
Pass (Ireland’s highest mountain pass). Take time
to visit Castlegregory and The Maharees, taking
in the stunning sand dunes and deserted beaches.
Should you have time, enjoy some of the Water
Sports that this area is renowned for and of
course, Ireland’s longest beach.
As you drive back along the N60, Brandon Bay will
open up more to your right and you will enjoy the
panoramic views of Mount Brandon and the
breaking rollers of the Atlantic Ocean. Having just
entered the Gaeltacht, another recommended
detour, is for Cloghane (An Clochán) and Brandon
(Cé Bhréanainn) Villages. These villages are a joy
for walkers, shore anglers and artists and drive out to
Brandon Point for mesmerising views of the bays
and mountains.
Back on the Conor Pass Road, you will be amazed
by glacial valley views, craggy mountain peaks and
hanging lakes. At the little waterfall, stop and climb
up to the splendour of Peddlar’s Lake. At the top
of the Conor Pass, enjoy the stunning vistas of
Brandon Bay and the Kerry coastline to the North
and to the South, you will see Dingle (An
Daingean) harbour and bay, the Ring of Kerry
Peninsula and on a clear day, the Skellig Rocks.
Dingle is a fishing port with so much to see and
do. A Fungie boat trip, a visit to Dingle Aquarium
and so much more, the choice is yours. Dingle is
charming with lovely restaurants, pubs, cafes and
shops to ramble around. Traditional Irish music
is a key feature every evening.
Take the R559 westwards towards Ventry (Ceann
Trá) with its glorious crescent shaped beach.
Shore angling, horse riding and walking are
popular here and as you drive further west, you can
visit Beehive Huts before you come to Slea Head
and the incredible views of the Blasket Islands.
You are now looking across at Ireland’s and
Europe’s most westerly point. Stop off at
Coumeenole Beach, a famous location scene from
the film Ryan’s Daughter, and be mesmerised by the
breaking jade waves.
The Blasket Island Centre is located in Dunquin
(Dún Chaoin) and is a great introduction to the
history of the islands and their Irish Literary
tradition. Ferries to the islands are located here and
in Dingle. Driving on you will marvel at the
spectacular coastal scenery and stop in Ballyferriter
(Baile an Fheirtéaraigh) village, the heart of the
Gaeltacht, and spend time at Músaem Chorca
Dhuibhne.
On the way to the quiet fishing village of Ballydavid
(Baile na nGall), stop at the incredible archaeological
sites of Gallarus Oratory and Kilmalkedar Church.
Make your way back in to Dingle by taking the
Feohanagh (An Fheothanagh) route taking you
under the western slopes of Mount Brandon.
From Dingle, take the N86 for Tralee and Killarney.
Just before the village of Annascaul, take the right
hand turn for Killarney. However, a stop in Annascaul
is a must. It is a walker’s paradise and is the home
place of Antarctic explorer, Tom Crean. Driving on
for Tralee, you will enjoy the Slieve Mish Mountains
that will bring you back to the village of Camp and
then on for Tralee and North Kerry.
Heading towards Killarney, a stop at Inch Beach is a
must. It is another of the famous location scenes for
Ryan’s Daughter. Travel eastwards to Castlemaine
and then take the N72 for Killarney or the N70 for
Killorglin and the Ring of Kerry.
