    The scenery changes from ocean to lake to mountain views. This was one of the most beautiful days of my life.

    Climb up away from the main road of the Ring and get some really fantastic views high in the hills. The cows will come right up to your car window and say hello.

    Travel the Ring of Kerry. Go by bus, bike, walk, or donkey but go! Beautiful scenery. This photo was taken of Upper Lake near Killarney. For a very touristy area, it is surprisingly empty. Don't miss the Dingle Peninsula for amazing ocean views.

    Ring of Kerry: Touring the Ring of Kerry

  • Being one of the more popular sightseeing tours in the Kerry region, there are many tour buses that will drive you around. My tour included a stop at Waterville, the vacation home of Charlie Chaplin (something I didn't know), a sheep dog demonstration, Moll's Gap (for photo pics)....

    We managed to tour on a nice day which made for very nice photos. I will upload one once I figure out how to scan a photo onto the internet.

  • I reccomend strapping on the backpack and walking/hitchiking your way around the ring of Kerry. I started walking it with the intention of walking the entire length but this proved to be impossible because every car that went by stopped to give me a lift. I met some great people and I felt very safe doing it.

  • If you look at a map of Ireland and see the 2nd peninsula in the south, the Ring of Kerry is just a road around the peninsula encompassing the main towns in the area like Killarney, Caherciveen, Kenmare. Yes, there is some great scenery in some parts of it, but when the Ring road is heavily laden with tour buses, it does spoil the experience - in my most humble opinion.

    Ring of Kerry: What the coach tours show you
    orlikins
  • By orlikins on November 18, 2002
  • Killarney Page by orlikins
  • In these areas, you will come across more American and German bus tours than you can shake a stick at. The coach tours usually take around the scenic Ring of Kerry, Gap of Dunloe (just a valley, I think it's a bit overrated) and Ladies View (cant see the atttaction there myself, its a mountain valley and I've seen better)

    Go up along the ring of Kerry, the view is just fantastic. Whole range of colours, lack of traffic and so peaceful. Fantastic.

  • Directions: Pick up bus tours in downtown Killarney or drive. For tours it's worth calling them on the day to check they're still picking you up and haven't forgotten! Lots of tours can be booked in the pub on the high street or next to the main hotel.
