The Ring of Kerry is 111 miles (179 km) and skirts the coastline of the spectacular Iveragh Peninsula. Be prepared for panoramic Atlantic Ocean views, stunning islands, wild sweeping mountains, and many picturesque villages en-route.
The Wild Atlantic Way is Ireland's new long distance scenic driving route along the entire west coast of Ireland. It is 1600 miles (2600 km) in length and is one of the longest defined coastal routes in the world. The Wild Atlantic Way shares the same route with The Ring of Kerry along County Kerry’s coastline.

The Skellig Islands are two small, steep, and rocky islands lying off the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. They are famous for their thriving gannet and puffin populations, and for an early Christian monastery that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bringing world awareness, these islands were featured in the 2015 and 2017 Star Wars Movies. Discover More
