The "Ring Of Kerry Walk" trip starts and ends in Killarney. It is a walking tour that takes 8 days taking you through CAHERDANIEL, Killarney and Cahersiveen in Ireland. "Ring Of Kerry Walk" is a self-guided private trip that includes accommodation in guesthouses, transport, meals and others.
A walk around the Iveragh Peninsula with stunning views of the famous Kerry countryside and coastline. The Iveragh Peninsula is one of Ireland's great natural tourist attractions. It encompasses a 179 kilometre circuit from Killarney, via Killorglin, Cahersiveen, Waterville, Kenmare and back to Killarney across Moll's Gap and past Ladies View - one of Ireland's most famous viewpoints. You will leave the tour bus route and journey along a network of ancient paths which weave between the main points, on the long-distance track known as the Kerry Way. During this superb week long self-guided walk you will experience stunning coastal scenery and pretty fishing villages, such as Caherdaniel and Portmagee, whose beautifully preserved stone dwellings have weathered the coastal elements for centuries, nestled amid a picturesque scene of verdant hills. At night you will get a taste of traditional Irish hospitality in comfortable B&Bs chosen for their good character, location and fine Irish breakfasts.
