  • Ring of Kerry - this is a most beautiful landscape, many people tour the Ring, or rather the peninsula on bikes. If you are not too sportive, you might just take a ride from Dingle to the westernmost point of Ireland, to Slea Head. Fantastic view from the cliffs to Blaskett islands, and the mountains along the road are not too hard to conquer

    See the lovely country-side, the Atlantic Ocean, and ruins of old castles.

    There are these giant coach buses that take huge groups on tours of the Ring of Kerry. The road is so narrow that they all have to go in the same direction, as there is not room for 2 buses to meet.

    We took the train from Dublin, and what started as a disappointment turned into a blessing. We were too late for the last bus. So, we found a company that gave private tours, and for a fairly reasonable price we had our own driver/tour guide and could decide which spots we wanted to stop at, and for how long. I would highly recommend doing the tour this way!

    Ring of Kerry: Ring of Kerry road trip do it yourself.

  • The Ring of Kerry is very beautiful coastal, mountain, cliffs and small town atmosphere. Nature lovers will die for this place. The trick to the Ring of Kerry is to find out when the tour busses are there. Go at least 2 hours before they leave that way you will always be ahead of them. The roads are quite narrow and steep; often drop off into the sea., so you don;t want to be behind a tour bus. Many people opt for the tours because the roads are winding mountain, sea roads. My friend drove just fine and we were able to stop at our own leisure.
    There seems to be a problem with fog at certain times of the year. We had no fog at all. As a matter of fact we had warm 70-80's sunny days every day. Not a drop of rain, only a mist one morining. We were there in late June. Clear blue skies. If you have every been to northern California HWY 1 it is similar to that kind of road. The ring of Kerry also takes you inland to the beautiful lakes. This is a must see area of Ireland.

    This is one of the most beautiful drives in all of Ireland. It's on the western coast on a peninsula that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean. The views are spectacular. The road is narrow and winding. I was surprised that our tour bus did so well on the road. We stopped at the Scarriff Inn for lunch and a scenic break. It's expensive but the views are amazing. As we drove the loop, our guide pointed out burials from the Iron Age marked by groups of up-right stones and a Ring Fort also from the Iron Age. This fort protected early peoples from animals as well as from other tribes. All along the road were wildflowers: orange Montbretia, magenta Fuschia, and golden Ragwort. Having seen only the hanging baskets of fuschia sold in garden centers here in America, I was amazed to see that in Ireland, it makes large shrubs covered with those beautiful blooms.

    If there is one place to feast on romatic Eire, it is the Ring O' Kerry. From the lakes and castle ruins outside Killarney, the monasteries, the castle ruins, the waterfalls, hiking trains, luxury hotels, quaint B&B's, golf, sheep farms, wool shops, bric-a-brac bargains, quays, aquariums, dophins, beaches, campsites, pubs, mountain vistas, seaside villages, brightly painted pubs featuring traditional Irish music, and festivals where the goat Puck is proclaimed king~ the Ring O' Kerry offers the best tourist value to at least the romatisized American.
