What should you do in Ring of Kerry?

A Ring of Kerry tour takes you along Ireland's most popular scenic road. Between the beautiful Atlantic coast and imposing mountain ranges, Kerry's most important sights await. Beaches such as Derrynane Beach or Ballinskelligs Beach not only offer opportunities for swimming and water sports, but also for beach walks to fascinating medieval ruins. Killarney National Park, with its mountains, lakes and historic buildings, provides an enchanting backdrop for hikes. The view of the Atlantic coast from Cahergall Stone Fort, a ring fort dating back to the early 7th century, is also unforgettable.

Things to do and see along Ring Of Kerry

Killarney National Park

At the heart of the Ring of Kerry, Killarney National Park is a stunning expanse of mountains, lakes, and woodlands. Hike through scenic trails, visit the historic Muckross House, or enjoy a boat trip on the lakes while soaking in views of MacGillycuddy’s Reeks, Ireland’s highest mountain range.More...

Derrynane Beach

Derrynane Beach is one of Ireland’s most beautiful stretches of sand, known for its crystal-clear waters and sheltered coves. It’s the perfect spot for a peaceful walk, a refreshing swim, or simply relaxing and taking in the Atlantic views.

Cahergall Stone Fort

Step back in time at Cahergall Stone Fort, a remarkably well-preserved ring fort dating to the early medieval period. Climb the ancient stone walls for sweeping views of the surrounding countryside and coast, and imagine life here over a thousand years ago.

Skellig Ring

Branch off the main Ring of Kerry to discover the Skellig Ring, a quieter, rugged route with dramatic coastal views. From here, you can gaze out at Skellig Michael, the iconic monastic island featured in Star Wars. It’s one of the wildest and most unforgettable parts of the journey.

Kenmare

This charming town at the southern end of the Ring of Kerry is known for its colorful buildings, lively arts scene, and traditional pubs. Browse local craft shops, enjoy a seafood meal, or simply soak up the friendly atmosphere that makes Kenmare a favorite stop for travelers.Less
