Kerry

Home to Ireland's highest peaks and most spectacular coastline, Kerry offers the famous Ring of Kerry drive, charming Killarney town, and the dramatic Dingle Peninsula. This county showcases Ireland's natural beauty at its finest. The 179km Ring of Kerry loops through Ireland's finest mountain and coastal scenery, passing through colourful villages like Kenmare, Waterville, and Cahersiveen. Killarney National Park encompasses 10,000 hectares of pristine wilderness around the sparkling lakes of Killarney, whilst the ancient oak woodlands shelter red deer and Ireland's only wild herd of native red deer. The Dingle Peninsula extends westward into the Atlantic, where Gaelic culture thrives alongside dramatic archaeology like the Gallarus Oratory and over 2,000 archaeological sites. Skellig Michael, a UNESCO World Heritage site, rises dramatically from the ocean, its 6th-century monastery perched impossibly on rocky pinnacles eight miles offshore.
