He even told jokes to entertain kids. As they say in Ireland - "he was a real character". To the southwest of the town, lies Killarney National Park , a 26, acre expanse of rugged, mountainous country. The extraordinary combination of misty mountains, reflective lakes, whispering woods and cascading waterfalls, all under tumultuous changing skies, adds magnificence to the scenic beauty of this natural wonderland.
Carrauntoohil is Ireland's highest mountain and is part of the Macgillycuddy's Reeks range, which boasts nine of Ireland's ten tallest peaks. This magnificent route takes drivers through rolling heather and gorse covered hills, along rugged coastline and through lively and colorful Irish towns. The landscape and scenery is everything you imagine Ireland to be. Many tourists envision the Ring of Kerry as a town, or a place they can visit for an hour or two.
The Ring is in fact a looping road which winds for kilometers around the Iveragh Peninsula. In the summer months, many tour buses can be spotted, winding around the coast or stopped at scenic viewpoints dotted along the route. Driving the Ring of Kerry is an experience of a lifetime. Here the mountains meet the ocean with scenic splendor, making this trip one of the world's most spectacular drives.
The town of Kenmare is a perfect stopping point on a tour of the Ring of Kerry. South of the busier hub of Killarney, it is a great central point for touring Cork and Kerry.
Brightly colored houses, shops, bars, restaurants and hotels line the streets of this welcoming town, nestled in the Kerry mountains and set against the splendid backdrop of Kenmare Bay. The Ring of Kerry boasts ancient ringforts, sublime scenery, rainbows, beaches and outdoor activities to suit every tourists needs.
Everywhere in Kerry, it is easy to feel connected to our ancient, mythical past. Archaeological treasures seem to dot the roadsides and countryside. Valentia Island is located on the western loop of the famous Ring, and for such a small island boasts an amazing history. The oldest footprints in the northern hemisphere were found on the cliffs here. Slate from the island's quarry was exported all over the world and was used to roof the Paris Opera House and the London Houses of Parliament.
The first weather forecasting station was set up here in and the first transatlantic cable landed here in August This little island deserves a blog post all of its own. The Skellig Islands, off the Kerry coast, are home to a 7th century monastic complex, perched on the steep sides of the rocky island of Skellig Michael.
The extreme remoteness of Skellig Michael has until recently discouraged visitors. The site is therefore exceptionally well preserved. And so we come to the end of our tour of County Kerry. There are many places I had not time nor space to include today, but trust me, if there is a county in Ireland that is not to be missed, County Kerry falls into that category. I hope this short tour serves as visual proof why Kerry is one of Ireland's most popular counties for tourists to visit.
And trust me, many who visit fall in love with this welcoming place, and one visit is never enough. Discover Ireland - Kerry. Ring of Kerry Tourism. Dingle Peninsula Tourism. Ireland: County-By-County. Barley Cove Beach. Irish Rainbow Blessings.
Plus if you like Pinterest and file your favorite pages on boards, here's an image you might like I've partnered with the good folks at Gifts of Ireland to bring you a little piece of Ireland.
Let's explore our Irish heritage together with hand picked Irish gifts. Stunning views! I love reading about all the history you included too! My mom's name is Kerry and I've always wanted well, since I was older to ask my Granddad about the significance of that Such a beautiful place!
The descent was much narrower. Only one car wide in lots of places with overhanging cliffs and waterfalls but drivers were being sensible and lots of courteous giving way was taking place. If you are on this peninsula and the weather is on your side highlight it on your map! Our route back took us past two large bays, Brandon and Tralee. The skies had brightened enough for us to dive down a very narrow track which had a brown sign with a sandcastle on it.
The track let straight on the beach so after Jon doing a bit of a sand density test, we abandoned the car to go for a walk. We more or less had it to ourselves and it was wild and beautiful. Evidently is is one of the top windsurfing locations but we only saw one guy whizz by in his sail powered buggy. The Gap is basically a pass between two mountains surrounded by five lakes.
It is popular with tourists and they are deterred from driving down the narrow, winding road even though it is a public road. There are a whole car park full of horse drawn traps which can take you through the gap for a fee.
The pony and traps are guided by men from local families who seemed to want to have a bit of a monopoly on the road. We did see a few cars who braved the waving men, maybe they were residents. Apart from that it was just cyclists and walkers. We declined the offer and walked a fair way along the 6 mile round trip to the lake.
We had envisaged a very narrow pass, a bit like in the cowboy films but it was wider than we had imagined but still picturesque. The cottage at the entrance to the Gap, which is now a bar and gift shop, was originally lived in by Kate Kearney who lived in the years before the Great Famine. Obviously a bit of a local legend. After meeting up with Mary our airbnb host and her lovely rescue dog, Freya, we headed off to the interesting named Inn Between for a hearty meal.
The landlord was super friendly and tried to explain the Gaelic football which had Irish commentary. The food was good and the Guinness was even better so a perfect end to another day exploring the west coast of Ireland.
