- Ring of Kerry - Explore the Ring of Kerry, a renowned scenic drive in Ireland. This 125-mile journey showcases rugged coastlines, rolling hills, historic castles, and some of the country’s most breathtaking views. Begin your adventure in Killarney, taking in the vistas, waterfalls, and beaches along the winding route. On the far side of the loop, you’ll find the Kerry Cliffs, where towering cliffs meet the powerful Atlantic waves. As you return to Killarney, immerse yourself in tales of medieval clans, whiskey smugglers, and Ireland’s quest for independence.
- Ross Castle - Constructed in the 15th century for the O’Donoghue Ross clan, Ross Castle is situated on the shores of Lough Leane within Killarney National Park. Visitors can enjoy a guided tour of the castle (admission fees apply), explore the surrounding grounds, or follow the nearby Governor’s Rock Loop for stunning views of the lake and castle. Spanning over 26,000 acres, Killarney National Park is Ireland’s first national park and home to some of Europe’s oldest yew trees. Keep an eye out for the park’s famous red deer, the only native herd remaining in Ireland.
- Torc Waterfall - Nestled in the woodlands of Killarney National Park, Torc Waterfall cascades down a rocky hillside in a series of tumbling falls. It’s a popular stop in the park, especially impressive after rainfall when the water flow is at its peak.
- Muckross Abbey - Located nearby, Muckross Abbey and Muckross House offer two distinct stories from Ireland’s history. The abbey’s ruins date back to the 15th century, while the Victorian mansion later hosted Queen Victoria during her 1861 visit to Ireland. Admission fees apply for Muckross House, but the gardens are open for free exploration.
- Gap of Dunloe - Formed by glaciers during the last Ice Age, the Gap of Dunloe is one of the Ring of Kerry’s most stunning landscapes. With breathtaking views of mountain ranges like the MacGillycuddy Reeks and Purple Mountain Group, pristine lakes, and several popular walking trails, this scenic valley is a favored side trip.
- Valentia Island - Connected to the mainland near Portmagee, Valentia Island is celebrated for its dramatic coastal scenery, fascinating geology, and rich history. Highlights include the famous Tetrapod Footprints, among the oldest known footprints globally, as well as scenic viewpoints, coastal walks, and a historic lighthouse. Valentia Island offers a full day of exploration on its own.
- Kerry Cliffs - Rising over 1,000 feet above the sea, the Kerry Cliffs provide some of the most dramatic coastal views on the Ring of Kerry. From the cliffs, you can see the jagged outline of the famous Skellig Michael. The walk to the viewpoint also passes Beehive Huts where monks once lived centuries ago. Kerry Cliffs is located on private property, and parking fees apply.
- Kenmare Stone Circle - Dating back to the Bronze Age, the Kenmare Stone Circle has stood just outside the center of Kenmare for thousands of years. Once a place of rituals and burials, it remains one of the area’s most intriguing ancient sites. It’s believed if you wish upon one of these stones, you’ll have good fortune. All visitors must pay a small admission fee.
- Staigue Fort - Built around 400 AD, Staigue Stone Fort is one of Ireland’s largest surviving stone forts. Its massive stone walls rise nearly 18 feet high, with narrow stairways and small chambers built directly into the structure. It remains a remarkable example of ancient stone craftsmanship, built entirely without cement or mortar.
- Derrynane House - Located near Caherdaniel, Derrynane House was once home to Daniel “The Liberator” O’Connell, one of Ireland’s most influential political figures. Today it’s a protected monument, and visitors can explore his ancestral home and surrounding parklands. The house is open from from mid-March to early November, and a small admission fee is required to enter the building.
- Ballinskelligs Abbey - Located right on the beach and just a short walk apart, Ballinskelligs Abbey and Castle offer a glimpse into the area’s past. Augustinian monks lived at the abbey for centuries, while a powerful clan later built the nearby castle, which also served as a toll station for boats entering the bay.
- Kells Bay House & Gardens - Thanks to its unique tropical microclimate, Kells Bay House and Gardens is the perfect spot for both sunbathers and subtropical plants. The Victorian-style country estate sits in a sheltered bay that has attracted fishermen, gardeners, and visitors for generations. An entrance fee is required to explore the house and gardens.
